Configuring and synchronizing VIP administrators
You can designate a set of users in your user store to act as VIP administrators. VIP Enterprise Gateway can then synchronize their records with the VIP Authentication Service.
You designate a set of users in your user store to act as VIP administrators. These VIP administrators can configure VIP security policies, can request and view reports, and can manage the VIP credentials and users in VIP Manager. To designate users as VIP administrators:
- Create a user store containing the users to designate as VIP administrators in VIP Manager.See Managing user stores.
- Allow VIP administrators to access VIP Manager using the VIP Manager IdP.
- Configure the search criteria that VIP Manager uses to identify the VIP administrators in the user store.
- Optionally, you can configure VIP Enterprise Gateway to automatically synchronize the VIP administrators in the user store with the VIP administrators in VIP Manager.
When a VIP administrator attempts to log in to VIP Manager, the VIP Manager IdP queries the user store to authenticate that VIP administrator using a set of search criteria you define.
In the
VIP Administrator Configuration
page, you can do the following operations:- Configure the search criteria that lets VIP Manager identify the VIP administrators.
- Configure synchronization settings that enable VIP Enterprise Gateway to synchronize VIP administrator records with the VIP Authentication Service.
