Managing User Authentication

You can set up the authentication methods that your users require. Auto enrollment options place users in roles automatically. CA OM Web Viewer uses the following authentication methods:

LDAP

Let users view mainframe reports without having mainframe set up credentials for those users.

Note: With LDAP authentication you can enroll users into Roles based on their LDAP attributes.

External security EXIT

Uses Java programming interface as exit calls to external authentication functions (customer supplied) to authenticate domain/network users for mainframe report access. This is an integration solution to customer existing Single-Sign-On system.

Mainframe security

Uses CA Top Secret, CA ACF2, or RACF authentication. There is a default user role that mainframe users can be enrolled into.

Note: Different users on the same Web Viewer system can be authenticated with different LDAP and Mainframe security methods.
