Customizing Authentication in CA Performance Center › CA Single Sign-On › Authentication Methods

Authentication Methods

The Single Sign-On component provides the login page that supports user authentication in CA Performance Center and in the data source products. Single Sign-On supports the following authentication methods:

• Product authentication, which is based on user accounts
• LDAP
• Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0

The CA Performance Center administrator can modify settings for an individual instance of Single Sign-On. For example, you can set up LDAP authentication in Single Sign-On. You can also configure optional encryption with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or change the default virtual directory.

Note: As a result of the distributed architecture, any updates to the Single Sign-On website only affect those data source products that are running on the same server.
