Configuring unified authentication
Unified authentication integrates access authentication and application authentication. With unified
authentication, users need only one authentication process to access the network and various Web
application systems. Without unified application, they must use multiple authentication processes.
Unified authentication applications include:
•
Web Application System > Portal
•
Web Application System > Self-Service
•
Portal > Web Application System
•
iNode Client Shortcut Configuration
Configuring Web Application System > Portal
Web Application System > Portal authentication combines Web application system authentication with
portal authentication. Users passing this type of authentication can access all networks that require
portal authentication.
To configure Web Application System > Portal:
1.
Click the User tab.
2.
Select User Access Policy > Service Parameters > Unified Authentication from the navigation tree.
3.
Click the Configure icon for Web Application System > Portal.
4.
Select Enable.
5.
Enter and confirm a shared key to secure communication between the Web application system
and the portal server.
6.
Enter the timestamp valid time, which determines how long the Web application system and the
portal server trust each other after a successful communication between them. During the
timestamp valid time period, the Web application system believes that the portal server is secured.
7.
Enter a URL in the Redirect to URL after Portal Authentication field in the format of
http://XXXXXXXX/XXXX. The URL opens after portal authentication, whether or not the portal
authentication process succeeds.
8.
Click OK.
The configuration takes effect one minute later.
Configuring Web Application System > Self-Service
Web Application System > Self-Service authentication provides a link to the user self-service center on the
Web application system page. When a user passes Web application system authentication, the
Self-Service Center page pops up.
To configure Web Application System > Self-Service:
1.
Click the User tab.
2.
Select User Access Policy > Service Parameters > Unified Authentication from the navigation tree.
3.
Click the Configure icon for Web Application System > Self-Service.
4.
