Managing Users and Their Credentials

AuthMinder works with your application to manage strong authentication for administrators and end users. AuthMinder allows you to create the end users directly through the Administration Console. For the purpose of migrating existing users and creating new users in the AuthMinder database as bulk operations, AuthMinder provides extensive Web Services. This process of creating users in AuthMinder is known as migration.

Note: See "Enrollment Workflows" in the CA AuthMinder Web Services Developer’s Guide to understand the workflows for user enrollment.

Managing user information is a critical part of maintaining a secure system. The end-user management operations that are supported by AuthMinder for this purpose include:

• Creating Users
• Searching for Users
• Updating User Information
• Promoting Users to Administrators
• Configuring Account IDs for Users
• Updating User Credential Information
• Deactivating Users
• Deactivating Users Temporarily
• Activating Users
• Deleting Users
