This section explains how to authenticate users in Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager.
In Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager, authentication is performed using single sign-on. For users of this product, the users registered in the repository of the single sign-on environment are used for authentication. This method has the following features:
User information can be shared between products that support the single sign-on environment. User information can be managed centrally in the repository of the single sign-on environment.
When logged in to the management console of Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager, the user information can be used to seamlessly start up software products that use single sign-on, without having to display a new login screen.
Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager uses the ServerView Operations Manager single sign-on. OpenDS (*1), which is provided by ServerView Operations Manager, is used as the repository of the ServerView Operations Manager single sign-on environment.
*1: OpenDJ is bundled as a directory service in ServerView Operations Manager V6.1 and later. Therefore, where the explanation in this manual includes "OpenDS", read this as "OpenDJ" if applicable.
