User Data Service
(UDS) is a user virtualization layer that enables access to the third-party data repositories (such as, LDAP directory servers) deployed by your organization. UDS enables CA Strong Authentication and the Administration Console to seamlessly access your existing data and leverage end-user information, without having to duplicate it in the standard CA Strong Authentication SQL database tables.CA Strong Authentication can access user data either from a relational database (RDBMS) or directly from an LDAP server:
- If you are using a relational database, seed the database with the CA Strong Authentication schema as a part of the post-installation configurations.
- If you are using an LDAP directory server and you want CA Strong Authentication Server and Administration Console to seamlessly access it, then you must have deployed UDS as part of the post-installation configurations.
To update the default UDS connectivity settings, use the User Data Service Connectivity Configuration page.
Follow these steps:
- Click theServices and Server Configurationstab.
- Click theAdministration Consoleoption on the submenu of the tab.TheUDS Connectivity Configurationpage opens.
- Specify the parameters that are listed in the following table in theUser Data Service ConnectivityConfigurationsection. Most of the parameters on this page are mandatory.
- ProtocolThe protocol to connect to the UDS service using the Administration Console. The available options are:
- TCP
- One-Way SSL
- Two-Way SSL
Default Value:TCP - HostThe IP address or host name of the system where the UDS is available. The default value of localhost will not work.Default Value:localhost
- PortThe port at which the UDS is available.Default Value:8080
- Application Context RootApplication context that is specified when UDS is deployed in the application server.Default Value:arcotuds
- Read Timeout (in milliseconds)The maximum time in milliseconds to wait for a response from UDS.Default Value:10000
- Idle Timeout (in milliseconds)The time (in milliseconds) after which an idle connection not serving requests will be closed.Default Value:30000
- Server Root CertificateThe path to the CA certificate file of UDS server. The file must be in PEM format.
- Client CertificateThe path to the CA certificate file of the Administration Console. The file must be in PEM format.
- Client Private KeyThe location of file that contains the CA's private key. The path can be an absolute path or relative to ARCOT_HOME.
- Minimum ConnectionsThe minimum number of connections that will be created between the CA Strong Authentication Server and the UDS server.Default Value:4
- Maximum ConnectionsThe maximum number of connections that can be created between the CA Strong Authentication Server and the UDS server.Default Value:32
- Connection Timeout (in milliseconds)Maximum time in milliseconds before the UDS service is considered unreachable.Default Value:30000
- ClickSave.
- Refreshalldeployed CA Strong Authentication Server instances.
