Systemwalker Operation Manager users can be managed by one of the following methods:
OS user management
Systemwalker Extended User Management
Systemwalker authentication repository
Systemwalker authentication repository
The Systemwalker authentication repository is a directory that centralizes Systemwalker user information, and can be shared between Systemwalker Operation Manager and other Systemwalker products. It is configured using either Interstage Directory Service or Active Directory. Refer to the Systemwalker User's Guide - Systemwalker User Management and Single Sign-on for more information.
Using the Systemwalker authentication repository makes it possible to centrally manage user IDs instead of through each separate Systemwalker product, as shown below:
By using a Systemwalker user ID managed by the Systemwalker authentication repository, it is possible to log into the Systemwalker Operation Manager Web Console or Windows client and use the various Systemwalker Operation Manager functions.
Systemwalker Single Sign-On
When the Systemwalker authentication repository is used, the use of a Systemwalker Single Sign-On between Systemwalker products can be created. For example, after logging into the Systemwalker Operation Manager Web Console, the user ID and password would no longer be required for the Systemwalker Operation Manager Web Console and the Systemwalker Service Quality Coordinator Web Console, as shown below:
Single Sign-On linked with ServerView Operations Manager
If you have built a cloud environment with ServerView Resource Orchestrator installed, you can link to ServerView Operations Manager and use the following function:
Single Sign-On
If the ServerView Resource Orchestrator console is running, this function can be used without the need to log in again to the Systemwalker Operation Manager Web console. This facilitates efficient operations in the cloud environment. This function is supported by servers running Windows or Linux.
Note
The Systemwalker authentication repository and the Systemwalker Single Sign-On function cannot be used simultaneously with the Single Sign-On function that is linked with ServerView Operations Manager.
If using Active Directory to manage OS users, do not use a domain user with the same name as a user that already exists on the computer where Systemwalker Operation Manager will be installed.
Refer to "Definitions when Linking with ServerView Operations Manager to Perform Single Sign-On" in the Systemwalker Operation Manager Installation Guide for details.
Refer to "Systemwalker Operation Manager users [UNIX version]" in "2.2.2 Additional Operations" for an overview of the Systemwalker Extended User Management function.
