Security Considerations

CA Virtual Assurance is secured using the CA Embedded Entitlements Manager (CA EEM). When installing CA Virtual Assurance, you can select one of the following authentication methods.

Native Security

If you are the CA EEM administrator, you can create your own universe of users, user groups, and policies specifically for CA Virtual Assurance because all this information is kept in the local store. However, this requires you to define your own set of users and user groups manually, which can be inconsistent with what is currently available in your directory service.

Active Directory

When you integrate with an existing Active Directory configuration, all your users and user groups are predefined and remain consistent with your central repository of users. However, use Active Directory to create new users or modify existing ones; you cannot use CA Virtual Assurance or CA EEM to do so.

Evaluate your requirements and select the setting that best fits them.
