Configuring user authentication

The Authentication tab enables you to configure and manage user access for the TrueSight Capacity Optimization and TrueSight consoles. In addition, from the Authentication tab you can  view the details of the Remedy Single Sign-On (Remedy SSO) server and TrueSight Presentation server that is configured with TrueSight Capacity Optimization. From TrueSight Capacity Optimization 11.0, the TrueSight Capacity Optimization and TrueSight consoles use the Remedy SSO server to provide single sign-on for authenticating users and enabling them to access the available features depending on the activities assigned to their user roles.

Access to the views and other options are managed according to the roles defined in TrueSight Capacity Optimization. For more details, see Adding and managing roles.
