You can use an authentication realm to import user accounts from an IBM UrbanCode Deploy server.
Then, users can log in to the blueprint design server with the same accounts as the IBM UrbanCode Deploy
server.
Before you begin
- Importing accounts in this way requires IBM UrbanCode Deploy version
6.1.1.2 or later.
- Obtain either a token or a user name and password for the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server.
- On the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server,
set permissions for the users, including giving the users access to components.
Note: When a user
logs in to the blueprint designer with an account from IBM UrbanCode Deploy, that
user sees only the components that they could see if they logged in to the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server.
If a user logs in with account from a different authentication realm, that user sees the components
that are associated with the token or user account that is on the System
Settings page.
Procedure
- Log in to the blueprint designer as a user with the following System
permissions:
- Configure Security
- Manage Users & Groups
- Click .
- Click Create New Realm.
- Specify a name and description for
the new authentication realm.
- In the Allowed Login Attempts list,
specify the number of times that a user can attempt to log in before
the account is locked. A blank value means that an unlimited
number of attempts are allowed.
- In the Type list, select UrbanCode
Deploy.
- In the UrbanCode Server URL field,
specify the full URL of the server, such as https://ucdserver.example.com:8443.
- To authenticate with a token, select Token Based
Authentication and specify the token in the Token field.
- To authenticate with a user name and password, clear Token
Based Authentication and specify the user name and password.
- Click Save. The
new realm opens, showing the table of users.
- Click Import Users, and then click Import to
import users from the authentication realm.
Results
Now users can use the same credentials on the
IBM UrbanCode Deploy server
and on the blueprint design server.
What to do next
Add the users to groups and teams. You must add users to teams to
give the users permission to work with blueprints and cloud resources.
