Disable Native Security for the Management Console

If you enabled native security for the Management Console, and now want to use a different application to protect it, disable the native security before implementing another security method.

Follow these steps:

1. Disable native security for the Management Console in the web.xml file as follows:
   1. Open CA IdentityMinder_installation\iam_im.ear\management_console.war\WEB-INF\web.xml in a text editor.
   2. Set the value of the Enable parameter for ManagementConsoleAuthFilter to false as follows:

      <filter>
      <filter-name>ManagementConsoleAuthFilter</filter-name>
      <filter-class>com.netegrity.ims.manage.filter.ManagementConsoleAuthFilter</filter-class>
      <init-param>
      <param-name>Enable</param-name>
      <param-value>false</param-value>
      </init-param>
      </filter>
      

   3. Save the web.xml file.
2. Restart the CA IdentityMinder server.

   The Management Console is no longer protected by native security.
