Authentication Settings

Authentication is the act of establishing that a user does indeed have security permission to gain access to the CA RCM Portal. The security parameters located in the eurekify.properties file governs the necessity of using a password to obtain access to the CA RCM Portal:

sage.security.disable.ADAuthentication=true

When this property is set to =True, the user does not have to use his/her established password in order to log in to the CA RCM Portal and any alphanumeric combination will allow them to gain entry.

When the property is set to False, only registered passwords will provide access to the CA RCM Portal. This means that there has to be a corporate Active Directory server that has a list of all the users and their passwords. When a user attempts to log in, the user and password are sent to the Active Directory server for authentication.
