Integrating with CA SiteMinder › Accept Web Single Sign-on

Accept Web Single Sign-on

Important! Before performing this procedure, you must complete the tasks in How to Set Up Web Single Sign-on!

Typically, users are presented with the login screen to access CA Service Catalog. However, when you integrate CA Service Catalog with CA EEM and CA SiteMinder, you can configure CA Service Catalog to accept single sign-on from CA SiteMinder. As a result, CA Service Catalog skips the login page for users who have already been authenticated by CA SiteMinder.

To accept web single sign-on

1. On each Catalog Component server, edit the files named USM_HOME\view\webapps\ROOT\index.html and USM_HOME\view\webapps\usm\index.html, using a text editor such as Notepad.

   In both files, use HTML commenting to comment out the use of Node=icguinode.login and enable the use of Node=iclaunchpad.pad, as shown for the following lines:

   <!-- 
   <meta http-equiv='Refresh' Content='0; URL=/usm/wpf?Node=icguinode.login'> 
   --> 
   <meta http-equiv='Refresh' Content='0; URL=/usm/wpf?Node=iclaunchpad.pad'>
