Enable CA IdentityMinder Authentication

When you enable CA IdentityMinder authentication, 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:

Follow these steps:

1. Run an import from CA IdentityMinder, as the authenticated user must exist in CA GovernanceMinder.
2. Edit these eurekify.properties files 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=<blank>

     Note: This property must remain blank.

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