Authenticating Users with an Authentication-Only Authentication
Source
If you have more than one authentication source importing
users from the same user repository, create an authentication-only
authentication source to authenticate your users.
Before you create an
authentication source, you must:
- Install the authentication
provider on the computer that hosts the portal or on another computer.
- Create a remote server that
points to the computer that hosts the authentication provider.
- Create an authentication
web service on which to base the authentication source.
To create
an authentication source you must have the following rights and privileges:
- Access Administration
activity right
- Create Authentication
Sources activity right
- At least Edit access
to the parent folder (the folder that will store the authentication
source)
- At least Select access
to the authentication web service on which this authentication source
will be based
- Click Administration.
- Open the
folder in which you want to store the authentication source.
- In the Create Object drop-down list, click Authentication
Source - Remote.
The Choose Web Service
dialog box opens.
- Select
the web service that provides the basic settings for your authentication
source and click OK.
The Remote Authentication Source Editor opens.
- On the
Main Settings page, complete the following task:
- Click the Synchronization page and
, under General Info, select Authentication
Only.
- Click the Properties and Names page and complete the following
tasks:
The default security
for this authentication source is based on the security of the parent
folder. You can change the security when you save this authentication
source (on the Security tab page in the Save
As dialog box), or by editing this authentication source (on the Security page of the Authentication Source Editor).Add this authentication source as the authentication partner
for a synchronization-only authentication source.
