Administrator Authentication

If you are using SOA Security Manager to protect an external administrator user store, consider the following:

During the Policy Server upgrade, the Policy Server User Interface is upgraded to the FSS Administrative UI. You can continue to use SOA Security Manager to protect the FSS Administrative UI. The existing external connection remains valid for the FSS Administrative UI.
By default, the Administrative UI uses the policy store as its source of administrator identities. This default configuration lets you manage the environment immediately after installing the Administrative UI. However, existing r12.0 administrators stored in an external user are not available to the Administrative UI. Configure an external administrator store connection from the Administrative UI to make the r12.0 administrators available.
Note: Using SOA Security Manager to protect the Administrative UI is not supported. The Administrative UI login screen only prompts for a user name and password. For more information about configuring an external administrator store connection, see the Policy Server Configuration Guide.
