Creating identifier associations for Sharon Jones

You must create the appropriate associations between the EIM identifier, Sharon Jones, and the user identities that the person represented by the identifier uses. These associations, when properly configured, enable the user to participate in a single sign-on environment.

In this scenario, you need to create one source association and two target associations for the Sharon Jones identifier:
  • A source association for the sjones Kerberos principal, which is the user identity that Sharon Jones uses to log in to Windows and the network. The source association allows the Kerberos principal to be mapped to another user identity as defined in a corresponding target association.
  • A target association for the SHARONJ IBM® i user profile, which is the user identity that Sharon Jones uses to log in to System i® Navigator and other IBM i applications on System A. The target association specifies that a mapping lookup operation can map to this user identity from another one as defined in a source association for the same identifier.
  • A target association for the JONESSH IBM i user profile, which is the user identity that Sharon Jones uses to log in to System i Navigator and other IBM i applications on System B. The target association specifies that a mapping lookup operation can map to this user identity from another one as defined in a source association for the same identifier.

Use the information from your planning work sheets to create the associations:
