Setting up Local User Management authentication in Remedy SSO

You can configure the Remedy SSO server to authenticate the Presentation Server users as local users. Remedy SSO provides you the facility to authenticate local users. A local user represents an individual user who accesses the protected application. The local users are assigned to groups (roles). Groups (roles) represents the groups or roles in your organization and is used to control user access. 

Perform the following tasks in Remedy SSO for enabling the user authentication:

• Add local users to the appropriate realm.
• Create the groups (roles) needed by your organization.
• Assign users to the appropriate groups (roles).
• Configure Remedy SSO to use local user management authentication.

The following topics help you to perform the above tasks in Remedy SSO and create an authorization profile in the TrueSight console:

Before you begin

• You must have installed and configured the Remedy SSO to work with the Presentation Server and its component products. For details, see  Planning to deploy Remedy SSO   and   Installing Remedy Single Sign-On.
• You must migrate the internal user data from Atrium SSO to Remedy SSO. For details, see  Migrating internal user data from Atrium SSO to Remedy SSO.
• You must have set the Remedy SSO general settings. For details, see  Set up the Remedy SSO server.
