In addition to user authentication, the User Management database provides you with the ability to designate a user as a CT User and thereby control their access rights (user authorization). You can use the User Management to authorize users who are authenticated by any of the following methods:
User Management
Local Linux accounts
External Directory service such as Active Directory Services or OpenLDAP
Active Directory Services using Kerberos (a specific implementation of an external directory)
To use AE Services User Management for authorization, you must follow these basic steps:
Add each user to User Management (User Management > User Admin > Add User) and set the CT User field to Yes. See Adding a user to User Management.
Enable the Security Database (SDB). See APIs that use the Security Database.
Administer the settings in the SDB. See Chapter 6: The Security Database.
