The configuration of the Systemwalker User Management function and the Systemwalker Single Sign-On function is as follows:
Systemwalker User Management function
Systemwalker Single Sign-On function
The Systemwalker authentication repository is a directory for centrally managing information about the users that use the system (hereafter referred to as "common user information").
The following products can be used as a Systemwalker authentication repository.
Interstage Directory Service
Active Directory
If the Systemwalker Single Sign-On function is used and Active Directory is used as the Systemwalker authentication repository, an Interstage Directory Service system must also be created to store information about access permission to the public URL.
The Systemwalker Single Sign-On Server consists of the following servers:
Authentication server
This server requests a user ID and password from a user in order to authenticate that user.
By comparing the user ID and password provided by the user with the existing user information on the repository server, it determines whether the Single Sign-On system can be used.
Repository server
This server manages the following two types of information.
Information required for user authentication (user IDs and passwords)
Information for allowing access to the path for the public URLs for the Web consoles of Systemwalker products
The repository server extracts these two types of information in response to requests from the authentication server, and then notifies the information to the authentication server.
The Systemwalker Single Sign-On Agent determines whether user authentication is required. If authentication is required, the Systemwalker Single Sign-On Agent requests it from the authentication server.
The following diagram shows the overall configuration.
