How to Enable External Authentication of Users

By default, CA Service Catalog uses CA EEM to authenticate users. However, you can optionally configure CA Service Catalog to authenticate users with external applications such as CA SiteMinder, IBM Tivoli, and others. The process consists of the following tasks:

  1. Install and implement the external authentication application, according to its documentation.

    If you are using CA SiteMinder as your external authentication application, see the Integration Guide for instructions to integrate CA Service Catalog and CA SiteMinder.

  2. Configure the external authentication parameters to match the external authentication application.
