2.1.1 About user authentication modes
You can select the user account management method in Performance Management. One method is to manage user accounts within the operation monitoring system and the other is to perform integrated management of user accounts by using an integrated management system. In this manual, the former is called the PFM authentication mode, and the latter is called the JP1 authentication mode.
- PFM authentication mode
-
Use a Performance Management user created in Performance Management to log on to PFM - Web Console. User accounts are managed by PFM - Manager. This is a standard user account management method in the Performance Management system, and is the default setting.
- JP1 authentication mode
-
Use a JP1 user created in JP1/Base, an authentication server of the integrated management system (JP1/IM), to log on to PFM - Web Console. JP1/Base manages user accounts. You need to install JP1/Base on the host that has PFM - Manager installed to use this mode.
- Note:
-
-
To use PFM - Manager in a logical host environment to set the JP1 authentication mode, JP1/Base must be running on the same logical host as PFM - Manager.
-
To use the JP1 authentication mode, you must set up an authentication server to be used by JP1/Base. However, the JP1/Base authentication server does not need to be running on the same host as PFM - Manager. For details on how to configure the authentication server used by JP1/Base, see the Job Management Partner 1/Base User's Guide.
-
To use the JP1 authentication mode in an environment using PFM - Manager on a cluster system, JP1/Base must also be used on the cluster system. The version of JP1/Base must be 08-00 or later.
-
When you set the JP1 authentication mode in PFM - Manager in a multiple-monitoring configuration, you must install JP1/Base on the primary and secondary Manager hosts and set up an authentication server on each host.
