Enable Unified Logon to Web Console

Unified logon automatically logs you into the DSM Web Console using your operating system login credentials. By default, unified logon is disabled. Configure certain settings to enable unified logon for Web Console. When you want to log in with a different user account other than the operating system user account, disable this option.

Before you enable unified logon, understand the following considerations:

• Unified logon works only for domain users. Therefore, use a domain user account to log in to the operating system.
• Your user account, the computers running the browser, Web Services, Web Console, and domain manager must belong to the same network domain.
• Your domain user account must be added to Client Automation security profiles.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the ITCM_Installpath\Web Console\webapps\wac\WEB-INF\classes\com\ca\wac\configWACConfig.properties file.
2. Perform one of the following actions:
   • Set the value of attemptUnifiedLogin to true to enable unified logon.
   • Set the value of attemptUnifiedLogin to false to disable unified logon.

   You have modified the setting that defines the use of unified logon for Web Console.

3. Save the file and restart tomcat using the following commands:

   caf stop tomcat
   

   caf start tomcat
   

   Unified logon is enabled or disabled depending on the attemptUnifiedLogin setting.

   Note: If you have enabled unified logon, verify that you have configured the browser settings for unified logon.
