Assign an Authvalidate Directory Mapping to an Existing Realm

You can assign an AuthValidate directory mapping to an existing realm. This enables the Policy Server to authenticate the user against one user directory and validate the user against another user directory. When the Policy Server validates an authenticated user, the user is given access to a resource in the realm.

To assign an AuthValidate directory mapping to an existing Realm

1. Click Policies, Domains, Realm, Modify Realm.
2. Select the realm that you want to modify.
3. Select the user directory to use as the validation directory from the Directory Mapping drop-down list.

   Note: The Directory Mapping drop-down list only contains user directories that are configured as authentication or validation directories in existing directory mappings. If the selected Directory Mapping is Default, the authentication directory is used as the validation directory when the user tries to access a resource in the realm.

4. Click Submit.

   The Modify Realm task is submitted for processing.
