Configuring the CA Single Sign-On Server

Follow the steps below to configure your CA Single Sign-On server for CA Identity Manager.

  1. Start the selang command interpreter.
  2. Create the system administrator's account on the CA Single Sign-On server if it does not already exist.
  3. Enable the administrator's account to connect from the Provisioning Server.
Create the System Administrator Account

Create the CA Single Sign-On administrator account on the CA Single Sign-On server. Add the admin and auditor keywords to the selang command to grant the correct privileges to the administrator. In selang, enter the following command:

nu administrator_name password(administrator_password) admin auditor
administrator_name

The user ID that the administrator uses to log on to the CA Single Sign-On Server.

administrator_password

The administrator password for the user ID.

Note: We recommend that you do not use a user ID named “Administrator” to define a CA Single Sign-On endpoint for Windows 2000.

Enter the following command to add administrator_name to the predefined group _ps-adms.

join administrator_name group(_ps-adms)

Enter the following commands to ensure the administrator account is created in the native operating system with the same password.

env(native)
eu administrator_name password(administrator_password)
env(seos)
Enable the Administrator Account

Enter the following command to enable the CA Access Control and CA Single Sign-On authentication methods for the administrator.

eu administrator_name auth_type(method5, method20)

Enter the following command to set the CA SSO password for the administrator's account to the same password you specified in Step 1.

el administrator_name appl(__SSO__) currpwd(administrator_password)

Give the administrator access to the CA Single Sign-On server by issuing the following command.

auth terminal server_name uid(administrator_name) acc(access_type)
server_name

Is the machine name of the CA Single Sign-On Server.

administrator_name

Is the administrator's account.

access_type

Is the access that the administrator needs. Read and write access is necessary. The keywords for access_type are READ, WRITE.
