Common Home Page Single Sign-On

When the CA SAM implementation is complete, the CA IT Asset Manager common home page displays Hardware and Software Asset Management dashboards. These dashboards contain links that open pages in CA APM and CA SAM. After you log in to CA APM and open the common home page, you can access CA SAM pages without logging in to CA SAM.

To implement the single sign-on, verify that the following steps are completed:

• The user ID in CA APM exists as a user ID in CA SAM, also.
• The user email address and Import ID in CA SAM match the user email address and Contact ID in CA APM.
• The CA SAM user is authorized to perform CA SAM functions.
  1. Access the CA SAM user details page by selecting Organization, User, and then editing an existing user record or creating a user record.
  2. Select the check box for CA Software Asset Manager authorization.
