Security Options

These options control the security features:

bopauth_host

(Applicable only for advanced availability configuration) Specifies the server name where bopauth_nxd is running. bopauth_nxd authenticates users accessing CA SDM through different interfaces. Select default if bopauth_nxd has to run in background server. This option cannot be uninstalled.

ldap_virtdb_host

(Applicable only for advanced availability configuration) Specifies the server name where ldap_virtdb is running. Select default if ldap_virtdb has to run in background server. This option cannot be uninstalled.

eiam_hostname

Specifies the hostname of the server where EEM is running. Required for EEM user name and password or artifact authentication.

force_unique_userid

Prevents using duplicate active system login names.

Important! We recommend that you keep the force_unique_userid option enabled at all times. If this option is uninstalled, and there are multiple contact records with the same login id, you may experience problems with data partitions, multi-tenancy, security, and other functionality.

guest_user_name

Specifies the Guest user login ID. Default is Anonymous. Must be a valid user ID.

ignore_security_case

If installed, the user ID is not case sensitive.

Portal_Safe_List

Stores a list of machine names and port numbers where Portal is installed.

The machine name and the port are entered as follows

machine-name:8080

For multiple Portal installations, separate the machine name/port number with a comma. For example:

machine-name1:8080,machine-name2:8081,machine-name3:8080

url_etrust_password_reset

The URL for the eTrust Admin web interface. This enables the password reset link on the web interface.

For example:

http[s]://hostname/EAOWebi/EAOLogin 

use_eiam_artifact

Allows EEM artifact to be used when users log in to CA SDM / Knowledge Management using URL..

use_eiam_authentication

Allows use of EEM authentication when users log in to CA SDM / Knowledge Management and the access type authentication is set to OS.

Important! Installing or uninstalling an option requires you to restart the CA SDM servers. For advanced availability configuration, not all options require you to restart all the servers. Ensure that you read the Server Restart List before restarting any server.
