Set Up NTLM Authentication

If you are clustering CA Service Catalog and you are using NTLM authentication to enable single sign-on to CA Service Catalog, then you must set up the cluster for single sign-on.

Important! This topic applies and is required only if you are using NTLM authentication to enable single sign-on in a clustered environment. Otherwise, skip this topic.

Follow these steps:

  1. Perform one of the following actions on each cluster:
  2. Log in to any CA Service Catalog computer in the cluster.
  3. Click Administration, Configuration, Single Sign On Authentication.

    The Single Sign On Authentication page appears.

    Note: Perform this step and the remaining steps once in your implementation. You do not need to repeat these steps for individual clusters, because performing them once affects all clusters.

  4. Perform the following actions:
    1. Locate the property named Single Sign On Type and click its Modify icon (by default, a pencil).

      The Edit Configuration dialog for this property appears.

    2. Select the option named Artifact Based Single Sign On and click Update Configuration.

      Note: In this dialog, you select Artifact Based Single Sign On (not the NTLM option), because you are setting up a cluster.

      The dialog closes, and you return to the Sign On Authentication page.

    3. Locate the property named Artifact Type and click its Modify icon (by default, a pencil).

      The Edit Configuration dialog for this property appears.

    4. Set Artifact Type to the appropriate option for your load balancer, and click Update Configuration.

      Important! For Apache Load Balancer, select Request.

    The dialog closes, and you return to the Sign On Authentication page.

  5. Restart the Windows services: CA Service Accounting and CA Service Catalog.

You have set up NTLM authentication for the clusters.
