Credential mapping
Do these tasks to map credentials.
An administrator can perform credential mappings for a group of
users. Alternatively, users can map their own credentials. The following
table describes the credential mapping-related tasks that different
types of users can complete:
User type | Permitted credential mapping-related tasks |
---|---|
InfoSphere® Information Server suite administrators, IBM® InfoSphere DataStage® administrators, and IBM InfoSphere QualityStage® administrators | These users can define default engine tier operating
system credentials to use for all users that are trying to connect
to InfoSphere Information Server engine
and that do not have a specific credential mapping defined. For each individual InfoSphere Information Server user, these administrators can define specific engine tier operating system credentials to map to the InfoSphere Information Server user credentials. |
InfoSphere DataStage and InfoSphere QualityStage users | These users can define their own credential mappings in the Web console. Users can only define credentials for their user names. |
