About the Administration Console

The Administration Console is a browser-based, graphical user interface. The Console enables you to manage all deployed CA AuthMinder instances, where an instance represents a CA AuthMinder Server that is installed on a system.

You use the Administration Console to configure CA AuthMinder Server, create users, administrative roles, and perform other administrative operations and configuration tasks, such as:

• Configure and refresh server instances
• Configure communication parameters between the server and other CA AuthMinder components
• Manage organizations, administrators, organizations that are mapped to LDAP, and users and their credentials
• Configure plug-ins
• Set authentication policies
• Set credential profiles
• Generate administration, transaction, and configuration reports

The tasks that you are authorized to perform are displayed on the Administration Console through various tabs. These tasks are based on the user group (or role) that you belong and the administrative permissions that are granted to your role.
