Technical Note: Using Access Manager Distributed Authentication

Accessing the Distributed Authentication User Interface

Once you have the distributed authentication deployed and configured, you can access it by entering the following access URL syntax into your browser:

http://dist_auth_server_host.dist_auth_server_domain:
dist_auth_server_port/DISTAUTH_DEPLOY_URI/UI/Login

This URL should always be an absolute URL, ideally would be used as goto=absolute successful redirect URL query parameter with the above Access URL since this web application would be normally deployed in a DMZ layer in production.

For testing purpose, if you happen to use the server's returned default successful redirect URL (the server's Administration Console URL), make sure that you change the URL from its relative value (SERVER_DEPLOY_URI/console) to the absolute value in the authentication properties in the Administration Console. For example:

SERVER_PROTOCOL://SERVER_HOSTNAME:
SERVER_PORT/SERVER_DEPLOY_URI/console
