Enable CA Identity Manager Authentication

When you enable CA Identity Manager authentication, the system authenticates users logging in to the Portal using CA Identity Manager. To enable CA Identity Manager authentication, set the following properties through the Portal under Administration, Settings, System Properties:

Follow these steps:

1. Run an import from CA Identity Manager, as the authenticated user must exist in CA Identity Governance.
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 Identity Manager authentication and Active Directory authentication: sage.security.disable.ADAuthentication=false
3. Restart CA Identity Governance.
4. Verify authentication by logging in to the Portal with an imported user.

Note the following use cases around CA Identity Manager authentication:

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