Configure CA SDM for IWA

You configure the IWA for each of the selected access types. After an access type is configured for the external authentication, CA SDM externally authenticates the contacts of that access type.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to CA SDM as a system administrator.
  2. Select the Administration tab, Security and Role Management, Access Types.

    The Access Type List page opens.

  3. Click the access type for which the external authentication is required.

    The Update Access Type form opens.

  4. Select the Web Authentication tab and select the Allow External Authentication check box.
  5. Select an appropriate value from the Validation Type drop-down list. The following values require description:
    No Access

    Specifies that the selected access type is not allowed to access.

    Open

    Specifies that the access is open to all.

    OS

    Specifies that the CA SDM server operating system credentials are required to access CA SDM. If you have configured EEM, the login request would be redirected to the EEM server.

    PIN

    Specifies that the value of selected CA SDM contact record field is required for the authentication. For example, if you select Pin as Validation Type and select Contact_Number from the PIN Field drop-down, the contact number of the user will be required for the authentication.

    Note: The Validation Type is not used for the IWA validation, but it is used when the user logs in through the CA SDM login form. The CA SDM Login page appears only when the user clicks the Logout link or when the credentials do not match with IIS credentials.

  6. Click Save.

    To configure the external authentication for other access types, repeat steps 1 through 6.
