CA AuthMinder Administration Guide › Overview of the Administration Console

Overview of the Administration Console

CA Administration Console (referred to as "Administration Console" later in the guide) is a Web-based, operation and system management tool, which provides a consistent, unified interface for managing CA AuthMinder.

This Console offers true multi-tenant architecture, which enables you to use a single instance of the Console to administer multiple organizations or business units within an enterprise. In this model, each organization or business unit can be set up individually with its own configuration. On the other hand, the Administration Console also provides you with the ability to inherit configuration data from the system level and build only specific configurations for each organization, if necessary.

This guide provides information for setting up and managing CA AuthMinder using the Administration Console. This guide covers information for both Windows and UNIX-based platforms that are supported by CA AuthMinder.

This chapter introduces you to the Administration Console interface and the supported administrator hierarchy. It covers the following topics:

• About the Administration Console
• Elements of the Administration Console
• Supported Roles
• Next Steps: Quick Administration

Note: The recommended desktop screen resolution is the optimal resolution of the system that is used to access the Administration Console.

Note: CA AuthMinder still contains the terms Arcot and WebFort in some of its code objects and other artifacts. Therefore, you will find occurrences of Arcot and WebFort in all CA AuthMinder documentation. In addition, some of the topics in this guide do not follow the standard formatting guidelines. These inconsistencies will be fixed in a future release.
