Configure Windows Integrated Authentication

Important! Verify that the user completing this task belongs to a role in which system configuration access is enabled.

You can configure Windows integrated authentication and reference the CA EEM server to the active directory used for authentication. With Windows integrated authentication enabled, a user already logged in to the Windows domain can access the product without having to provide any additional login credentials.

You can also configure Windows integrated authentication with CA EEM and CA SiteMinder. CA SiteMinder uses the active directory for authentication. For information about this configuration, see the CA EEM product documentation.

Note: For Windows integrated authentication to work, the CA EEM server, the Active Directory, and the client computer making the authentication request must belong to the same domain. In addition, when you create and authorize a user in the CA EEM local store with a user name that exists in the Active Directory, the corresponding Active Directory user is automatically authorized.

To configure Windows Integrated Authentication

1. On the computer where CA EEM is installed, configure the CA EEM server to reference your Active Directory or LDAP system.

   Note: For information about performing these functions, see the CA EEM product documentation.

2. In CA APM, click Administration, System Configuration.
3. On the left, click EEM.
4. Select Windows Integrated from the Authentication Type drop-down list.
5. Click Save.

   Windows integrated authentication is enabled.
