Implementation Guide › Integrating with SiteMinder › SiteMinder Authentication

SiteMinder Authentication

CA Identity Manager includes the following consoles, which should be protected:

• User Console

  Enables CA Identity Manager administrators to perform tasks in an Identity Manager environment.

• Management Console

  Enables CA Identity Manager administrators to create and configure an Identity Manager directory, Provisioning Directory, and an Identity Manager environment.

CA Identity Manager includes native authentication, which protects the User Console by default. The Management Console is not protected by default.

To protect the Management Console or to configure other types of authentication for the User Console, such as certificate or key authentication, CA Identity Manager must integrate with SiteMinder.

Note: For more information, see the Configuration Guide.
