SiteMinder Authentication

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

User Console

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

Management Console

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

CA Identity Manager includes native authentication, which protects the User Console by default. The Management Console is not protected by default, but you can configure CA Identity Manager to protect it. CA SiteMinder can also be used for protecting the Management Console.

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.
