CA AuthMinder Administration Guide › Managing Global AuthMinder Configurations

Managing Global AuthMinder Configurations

Important! All the configurations and tasks discussed in this chapter can only be performed by Global Administrators.

You can manage AuthMinder configurations at two levels:

• Global, applicable to all organizations
• Organization-level, applicable to individual organization

When you set global configurations at the system level, all organizations in the system can inherit them. You can also override these global settings at the organization level, and they apply only to the specific organization where they were set. The changes you make to the configuration globally or at the organization-level are not applied automatically. You need to refresh all server instances to apply these configuration changes.

Managing global configurations is a key part of AuthMinder management, and a key responsibility of Global Administrators. This chapter discusses global configurations that GAs can set for all current and future organizations in the system. These configurations include:

• Understanding AuthMinder Profiles and Policies
• Logging in as a Global Administrator
• Configuring Profiles and Policies
• Configuring Credential Management Keys
• Configuring SAML Tokens
• Configuring ASSP
• Configuring AuthMinder for RADIUS
• Configuring Plug-Ins
• Resolving Credential Types
• Assigning Default Configurations

Note: These configurations are applicable for all organizations that are in the purview of the GA setting them. If you want to configure individual organizations, then you must log in as the Global Administrator (GA) or as the Organization Administrator (OA) of the target organization to do so. See "Updating Organization Information" for more information.

In addition to these tasks, GAs can also configure the Basic Authentication Policy at the global level. See "Configuring the Basic Authentication Password Policy" for information on how to do this.
