BMC Atrium Single Sign-On and OpenAM
BMC Atrium Single Sign-On is built on the open source project OpenAM. This project has a long history of providing authentication and authorization across many different platforms by using many authentication techniques. BMC Atrium Single Sign-On provides a simplified, turnkey system that applies OpenAM technology to BMC products. Configuration of the servers and agents is automated as much as possible, allowing for easy adoption.
OpenAM technologies
BMC Atrium Single Sign-On uses a subset of the technologies within the OpenAM project that are required by BMC products. The current technologies of OpenAM that are certified by BMC Atrium Single Sign-On include:
- Authentication schemes - Internal, LDAP, BMC Remedy Action Request (AR) System, Active Directory, RSA SecurID, Common Access Cards (CAC), ActivIdentity-based, Kerberos, and SAMLv2
- Authentication chaining
- Groups
Atrium Single Sign-On user console access
The user console access is through the following URL:
https://<atssohost>:<port>/atriumsso/UI/Login?realm=BmcRealm
This URL can be used to verify the authentication module configuration. You do not need to rely on an installed and configured BMC application to initiate login in order to test configuration of authentication modules.
