Authenticate Users › Configure CA EEM Authentication

Configure CA EEM Authentication

If you have an existing installation of CA EEM, you can use the same for authenticating CA Open Space users. For more information about installing and configuring CA EEM, see the CA EEM Implementation Guide. Specify the EEM authentication details in CA Open Space for CA EEM users to log in to CA Open Space.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the CA Open Space tenant control panel as a tenant administrator.

   Example: http://<Company_Host_Name>:8686/group/control_panel

   Note: To configure the CA EEM authentication for a default tenant, login to the http://<CA_Open_Space_Server_Name>:8686/group/control_panel URL as the administrator.

2. Select Portal Settings, Authentication, EEM.
3. Select the Enabled check box to use CA EEM authentication and enter the following information:

   EEM Server Name

   Specifies the host name of the CA EEM server.

   EEM Administrator Username

   Specifies the CA EEM Admin username.

   EEM Administrator Password

   Specifies the password for the EEM Administrator Username.

   EEM Application Administrator Group

   Specifies the CA EEM group whose members are to be imported as administrators in CA Open Space.

   Important! This field is pre-populated with the OpenSpaceAdminGroup name, which you can modify. Ensure that a group is created in CA EEM with this EEM Application Administrator Group name and all your CA EEM users (who are intended to be CA Open Space administrators) are added to this group. All the users who are part of this group are considered as administrators of CA Open Space.

   EEM Default User Role (Optional)

   Specifies the CA EEM role (Administrator or Business User) who is added after the authentication.

   Important! If this role is not specified, then all the users are imported to CA Open Space as Business Users.

   EEM Application Name (Optional)

   Specifies the application within a CA EEM server, which is used for authentication.

   EEM User Default Organization (Optional)

   Specifies the default organization of the user. Enter the name of the organization (Web ID) that you specified during onboarding.

4. If you want to configure CA EEM with NTLM authentication, select the Enable NTLM(v1) Authentication check box. For more information about the CA EEM with NTLM authentication, see the Configure CA EEM With NTLM Authentication topic.
5. Click Save.

   CA EEM authentication is configured.

   Note: If the users are unable to log in CA Open Space using the CA EEM authentication, disable the CA EEM authentication.
