Configuring Users and Realms

Due to the powerful visibility that Mediation Engine Connector offers inside a network and the associated user privacy risks, a comprehensive user rights management system is available to restrict Mediation Engine Connector users to defined views and functionalities.

When using multiple Mediation Engines with a Mediation Engine Connector, the Mediation Engine Connector is responsible for managing users and realms. The user database and the realm definitions are entered using the Mediation Engine Connector user interface, which then distributes the information across the Mediation Engines. User database and realm definitions should be set up before the Mediation Engines are connected.

Note:

When using multiple Mediation Engines with a Mediation Engine Connector, the Mediation Engine is not responsible for managing users, passwords, and realms.

When a user is created in the Mediation Engine Connector, the information about the user is propagated to all the nodes, but the KPIs for the user are not created. For creating the KPIs for the user, you should login into the Mediation Engine. However, when a user is deleted from the Mediation Engine Connector, the KPIs are also deleted for that user.
