TrueSight Presentation Server overview
The TrueSight Presentation Server hosts the web-based TrueSight console functions and consumes data from various TrueSight products to provide a consolidated set of views for monitoring the infrastructure, real and synthetic applications, and capacity planning. In addition to data presentation, the TrueSight Presentation Server performs functions such as role-based access control and data management functions such as storage and persistence.
The TrueSight Presentation Server supports integrations to other products, high availability, and disaster recovery. User management and multi-tenancy support is enabled through integrated system authentication with Remedy Single Sign-On.
TrueSight Presentation core service
The core service is the main server process that communicates with the data providers and datastore functions. Apache Tomcat is embedded in the core service.

Supported integrations with other BMC products
Integrated system authentication with Remedy Single Sign-On
Remedy Single Sign-On (Remedy SSO) is an authentication system that enables users to enter their credentials only once for authenticating in a multi-software environment. Upon authentication, users automatically gain access to all applications that are integrated with Remedy SSO. In TrueSight Presentation Server, Remedy SSO supports only the following authentication types:
- Local
- LDAP/AD
- SAMLv2
- Kerberos
- OpenID
- Certificate-based
Based on your organization's requirements, you can configure any of the authentication types to authenticate the users for TrueSight product components. To configure and use these authentication types you must do the following:
- Install the Remedy Single Sign-On server and configure it with an authentication server such as LDAP/AD or SAMLv2.
- Create the required tenants (realms), user groups, and users on the Remedy Single Sign-On Admin console.
- Integrate the Remedy Single Sign-On server with the TrueSight Presentation Server during the TrueSight Presentation Server installation or upgrade.
