User Console Security

The User Console is the user interface that lets administrators manage objects like users, groups, and organizations in a CA IdentityMinder environment. These objects are assigned with a set of associated roles and tasks. When an administrator logs in to the User Console, tasks that are related to the administrator are displayed in that environment.

By default, CA IdentityMinder protects access to the User Console with native authentication. CA IdentityMinder administrators enter a valid username and password to log in to a CA IdentityMinder environment. CA IdentityMinder authenticates the name and password against the user store that CA IdentityMinder manages.

If CA IdentityMinder integrates with SiteMinder, CA IdentityMinder automatically uses SiteMinder basic authentication to protect the environment. No additional configuration is required to use basic authentication. You can configure advanced authentication methods using the SiteMinder Administrative User Interface.
