Enable CA IdentityMinder Authentication

When CA IdentityMinder authentication is enabled, the system authenticates users logging in to the portal using CA IdentityMinder. To enable CA IdentityMinder authentication, set the following properties through the Portal under Administration, Settings, System Properties:

To enable CA IdentityMinder authentication

1. Run an import from CA IdentityMinder, as the authenticated user must exist in CA GovernanceMinder.
2. Edit the eurekify.properties file as follows:
   • sage.security.disable.IMAuthentication=false
   • sage.security.IMAuthentication.universe=universe_name (the universe where you imported the users in Step 1)
   • sage.default.IMdomain=IM_domain
   • (Optional) If you are using CA IdentityMinder authentication and Active Directory authentication: sage.security.disable.ADAuthentication=false
3. Restart CA GovernanceMinder.
4. Verify authentication by logging in to the portal with an imported user.

Note the following use cases around CA IdentityMinder authentication:

• If CA IdentityMinder and CA SiteMinder authentication are both enabled, authentication is done through SiteMinder.
• If CA IdentityMinder and Active Directory authentication are both enabled, authentication is done through CA IdentityMinder unless CA IdentityMinder fails, then authentication moves to Active Directory.
