One Identity Manager uses different authentication modules for logging into the REST API. Authentication modules identify the system users to be used and load the user interface and database resource editing permissions depending on their permission group memberships.
NOTE:
- After initial schema installation, only the System user and Component Authenticator authentication modules and the role-based authentication modules are enabled in One Identity Manager.
- Authentication modules are defined in the modules and are not available until One Identity Manager modules are installed.
The authentication string is formatted as follows:
Module=<name>;<property1>=<value1>;<property2>=<value2>,…
Example:
Module=DialogUser;User=<user name>;Password=*****
The initial data is one part of the authentication string (parameter-value pair without module ID). Initial data from the authentication string is pre-allocated by default for each authentication instance. Some authentication modules are not requiring any parameter besides specifying the authentication module.
For more detailed information about authentication modules, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
The list of supported, respectively activated authentication modules can be retrieved using the URL <BaseURL>/appserver/authmodules.
