Administering CA Output Management Web Viewer › User Authentication › Mainframe Authentication › Auto Enrollment Mainframe Users

Auto Enrollment Mainframe Users

There is a default Role for mainframe authenticated users. If a user has never logged into CA OM Web Viewer, that user will have a user object created, and be placed in the Default User Role.

It works this way:

• Any user with valid mainframe security credentials can log into CA Output Management Web Viewer.
• The Default User Role has been set up for mainframe-authenticated users.
• After the user is logged in, that user is automatically enrolled into the Default User Role. The options for this Role can be edited just as any other Role.

• It is possible to give this Role access permissions that range from no Repository access, to, access to every Repository.
• Existing security definitions defined in the base mainframe repositories will not be bypassed and can be used to limit a user’s access.

Note: If you Check LDAP security before mainframe external security, some of your users might not be automatically enrolled. These users would be authenticated by LDAP first, and put into their LDAP Role, and not auto enrolled as mainframe users.
