Local Login with SSO

When you implement SSO, a CA SiteMinder Web Agent intercepts and authenticates user requests for the default login page of the CA GovernanceMinder server. This page has the following URL:

http://hostname:8080/eurekify/portal/login

Note: hostname is the IP address or hostname of the CA GovernanceMinder server.

Authenticated users do not have to log in when they browse to this page.

In some cases, you want to log in locally on the CA GovernanceMinder server using a different user account. To log in directly to the CA GovernanceMinder portal, browse to the following URL: 

http://hostname:8080/eurekify/portal/loginForm

The CA GovernanceMinder server ignores CA SiteMinder authentication for this page and requires local login.

Note: CA SiteMinder intercepts and authenticates requests for this page. Browse to this page with a user account recognized by CA SiteMinder.

Enable Authentication to Workpoint Server

You can enable authentication to the Workpoint server.

Follow these steps:

  1. See your Workpoint documentation and enable authentications on the Workpoint server side.
  2. Define the Workpoint user and password in CA GovernanceMinder by setting the following properties:

Note: The "workpoint.connection.username" value can be a specific username such as "Workpoint", or a pattern such as "workpoint-user-%d". The pattern option is useful when you want each connection to the Workpoint server to use a specific username.
