CA AuthMinder Integration

CA ControlMinder integrates with CA AuthMinder to provide a strong authentication option for privileged and other native users of the operating system.

The CA ControlMinder system administrator restricts interactive sessions coming from a terminal by adding users to a group. To get write permission to files, users in this group must authenticate themselves using CA ArcotID OTP (one-time passwords).

After authentication, CA ControlMinder does not apply the rules created for the native user (“root”), but it applies rules to users according to their internal identities. CA ControlMinder differentiates non-restricted, restricted, and promoted users, and applies specific rules to them.
