MDR Definition with CA Cohesion ACM Installation

CA Cohesion ACM MDRs have the following requirements:

• The mdr_name specified in the MDR definition on the CA CMDB server must match exactly the value of the attribute com.cendura.installation.name in the cendura.properties file on the target CA Cohesion ACM server.
• CA Cohesion ACM MDRs must have an MDR class of Cohesion.
• The MDR must specify the hostname and port number of the CA Cohesion ACM server.

To run MDR Launcher, edit the following portion of the cendura.properties file:

# -- Configure One-Click Authentication --
com.cendura.security.oneclickauth.secret=shared_secret
com.cendura.security.oneclickauth.scheme=
com.cendura.security.oneclickauth.user=userid

Important! The secret that is specified in the cendura.properties file must match the shared secret in the MDR definition.

The MDR Launcher logs on as the userid specified in the properties file and inherits its security attributes. To use functionality such as Refresh for CI attributes, verify that this user has sufficient privileges.

Note: For more information about creating a user and setting security options for that user, and for customizing the properties file, see the CA Cohesion ACM Implementation Guide.
