Configuring User Authentication

About this task

The User authentication page provides two options. One is to configure administrator accounts that have access to the IBM Application Discovery Configuration Admin dashboard. The other one is to configure user authentication that controls access to Analyze Client.

Procedure

  1. Access Start Menu > IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence > Launch IBM Application Discovery Configuration Service Admin, and go to Configure > Environments > "Your environment" > Servers and security > User authentication. The User authentication settings page is displayed.
  2. In the Administrator account section, select one of the options to enable the administrator access.
    • Enable administrator accounts as an LDAP group.

      This option is only selectable if LDAP has been set up in the Authentication Server (DEX) page. You need to check the box and enter a name for the administrator group in the LDAP.

    • Enable a single administrator account

      You can change the credentials for the administrator account that was set up in the configuration wizard. Check the box and enter the following information:

      Username
      Expects the account name that can access to IBM Application Discovery Configuration Admin.
      Old password
      Expects the old password of the username that was set up in the configuration wizard.
      New password
      Expects a new password of the username that will be used.
      Confirm new password
      Expects the new password again to confirm it.
    Note: You can select one of the options or enable both options. If you enable both options, the log in page will also provide two methods to log in to ADDI.
  3. In the User authentication section, select whether you need to enable user authentication in the IBM Application Discovery Analyze Client. Then, enter a number in the Timeout (in seconds) that expects the client to respond.
