Add Additional Management Console Administrators

By default, a Management Console that is protected by native CA IdentityMinder security has one administrator account, which is created in a new CA IdentityMinder directory during installation.

To add additional administrators, you specify a CA IdentityMinder directory that contains users who need access to the Management Console. Using an existing directory enables you to grant Management Console access to users in your organization, without having to create new accounts.

You can only specify one directory for authentication. You cannot delete a directory while it is configured for authentication.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Management Console with the user credentials you supplied during installation.
2. Open Directories, and click the directory that contains users that require access to the Management Console.
3. Click Update Authentication.
4. Select the Used for Authentication option.
5. Enter the login name for the first user and click Add.
6. Continue adding users that require access to the Management Console until all users have been added. Then, click Save.

   The users that you specified can now use their user name and password to access the Management Console.
