pp108 : Configuring Standard Authenticator for Service Group

Configuring Standard Authenticator for Service Group
This topic describes the procedure to configure an authenticator for a service group.

Before you begin this task:
You must have the system administrator or organizational administrator role to perform this task.


This configuration must be done for every group that will handle SOAP requests that use the WS-Security user token profile.

  1. On CUSP > My Applications , click (LDAP Explorer). The LDAP Explorer window appears.
  2. Navigate to cordys > <organization> and select the service group that should have the standard authenticator configured. The service group details are displayed.
  3. Click the button in the bussoapnodeconfiguration row. The String (xml) - Edit XML for string window appears.
  4. Add the authenticator node by copying the following text inside the <configuration> tag. 
    <authenticator implementation="com.eibus.security.authentication.OpenText CARSAuthenticator"/>

  5. Change the authenticator node if you want to use another validator.
  6. Click to save your changes.
  7. Restart the service. To do this:
    1. On CUSP > My Applications , click (System Resource Manager). The System Resource Manager window appears.
    2. Right-click <service container> and click Restart.

      The service group is now configured so that it can handle SOAP requests using the WS-Security user token profile.

      When SSO is being used, usually only the SSO service group needs to configured regarding authentication, since all other service groups are accessed with a SAML assertion in the header instead of the user name token.
