Replace Basic Authentication with a CA IdentityMinder Form

The default authentication method of the CA IdentityMinder domain is "Basic". To demonstrate a bit more polish for those customers accustomed to standalone or integrated forms, we include a SiteMinder login FCC that resembles the CA IdentityMinder form.

Follow these steps:

  1. Locate a web server in your environment that can host the form This server does not need to have a SiteMinder agent installed.
  2. Unzip the contents of the idmlogin.zip to your web root.
  3. The form is operational without any edits except for the registration and password reset links.
  4. Edit the login.fcc by updating lines 153 and 161 with your server FQN and task tags.
  5. Log in to the SiteMinder Administrative UI. Click the Infrastructure tab, Authentication, Expand Authentication Scheme and then click Create Authentication Scheme.
  6. Create a new object.
  7. Supply and name for your new form. Select HTML Form Template for the type. Specify the web server that is hosting your form and the proper port.
  8. For the target reference "/idmlogin/login.fcc". Then click Submit
  9. Update to the authentication scheme for the realm.
  10. Navigate to the XXX_ims_realm and select your new authentication scheme.
