Security Schemes
A security scheme is comprised of two elements:
• security realm
• transport protocol
The security realm is the repository where user accounts are stored. The following types of realms are supported:
• OpenLDAP server
• Microsoft Active Directory Services (ADS)
• Sun ONE Directory Server
• RFC 2307-based schemas on all supported servers
• Novell Directory Services
• UNIX
• MKS Domain
|
|
• The NT and NTSS security realms are supported for this release but will be dropped in a future release.
• OpenLDAP, Netscape, RFC 2307, and Novell security realms are all defined as ldap security realms in the preconfigured security scheme definitions in the security.properties file.
|
The transport protocol is the protocol used for sending passwords and data over a connection. It can be one of the following:
• send over a clear connection (clear in security.properties)
• send over a secure SSL port (private in security.properties)
Each security realm uses a single authentication domain. The authentication domain is the mechanism used to confirm your credentials. The following authentication domains are supported:
• Kerberos
• Kerberos Single Sign-on
• LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
• UNIX
• MKS Domain

Integrity Lifecycle Manager does not permit the use of the colon (:) character in user names.
As of Integrity 10.4, user names and login IDs can contain the @ character. To use the @ character, you must be running version 10.4 or later of Integrity Lifecycle Manager server,Integrity Lifecycle Manager client, and all Integrity Lifecycle Manager proxies. In addition, you should use version 10.4 or better of the Microsoft Visual Studio and Eclipse integrations.

Security schemes are defined in:
installdir/config/properties/security.properties
where installdir is the path to the directory where you installed the Integrity Lifecycle Manager server.
Security schemes based on the supported realms are preconfigured in the security.properties file. If you have special security scheme requirements, contact Integrity Lifecycle Manager Technical Support.
To set up security, you need to do the following:
• Select your security schemes.
• Configure the required settings for your security schemes.
• Set up the Secure Sockets Layer Set.
