Valid AutoShell User

During the CA Server Automation installation, you define a CA Embedded Entitlements Manager (CA EEM) user identity and password in the Native Security User Information screen of the installation wizard. The credentials are stored in the CA EEM database. The user is assigned to the CA Server Automation administrator group and can be used to log in to the CA Server Automation User Interface and AutoShell manager.

If CA Server Automation components that use CA EEM are installed on a local or remote system, the AutoShell manager always validates the login credentials against the CA EEM data. If not, the AutoShell manager validates the login credentials against Windows authentication.
