Installing an authentication service
You can use one of the following Remedy Single Sign-On (Remedy SSO or RSSO) authentication service options with BMC Atrium Orchestrator (BAO) Platform installations:
- Embedded Remedy SSO: This option is available for selection when you install the BAO repository, CDP, and HA-CDP. In this scenario, Remedy SSO is installed with the BAO upgrade (you do not install it separately).
- External Remedy SSO: Install a supported version of Remedy SSO on a separate server before installing BAO Platform components. See 7-9-01-Service-Pack-1 for supported Remedy SSO information.
If you are installing an external Remedy SSO authentication service, install it first (prior to installing BAO Platform components).The [toc] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline.
Embedded Remedy SSO
If you install the embedded Remedy SSO during the BAO Platform installation, a realm named BAOLocal is automatically created during the installation of the repository, CDP, and HA-CDP if it is installed.
External Remedy SSO
Complete the steps in this section to use an external Remedy SSO.
Install Remedy SSO
To install Remedy Single Sign-On, use the instructions in Installing Remedy Single Sign-On. See 7-9-01-Service-Pack-1 for the supported Remedy SSO version.
During the external Remedy SSO installation, you are prompted to choose a database type. To use Remedy SSO with BMC Atrium Orchestrator Platform, choose embedded database or Oracle database.
Create the default user, role, and realm
After installing Remedy SSO, you must complete the following tasks before installing BMC Atrium Orchestrator Platform components:
- Create a realm named BAOLocal (see Working-with-realms).
- Create a user called aoadmin (see Creating-and-managing-local-users-and-roles-in-Remedy-Single-Sign-On). Use the default password (see Installing-the-repository for the default password, which is listed after the installation instructions).
- Create a role called AoAdmin (see Creating-and-managing-local-users-and-roles-in-Remedy-Single-Sign-On).
- Assign the aoadmin user to the AoAdmin role (see Creating-and-managing-local-users-and-roles-in-Remedy-Single-Sign-On).
