Adding authentication servers
You can add authentication servers and enable remote authentication on the management server so that remote users within the authentication server can access Unified Manager.
Before you begin
-
The following information must be available:
-
Host name or IP address of the authentication server
-
Port number of the authentication server
-
-
You must have enabled remote authentication and configured your authentication service so that the management server can authenticate remote users or groups in the authentication server.
-
You must have the Application Administrator role.
About this task
If the authentication server that you are adding is part of a high-availability (HA) pair (using the same database), you can also add the partner authentication server. This enables the management server to communicate with the partner when one of the authentication servers is unreachable.

In the left navigation pane, click General > Remote Authentication.
