Edit online

The next step in this scenario is to verify that the IBM Verify Identity Governance users can log in.

About this task

Depending on how your system administrator customized your system, you might not have access to this task. To obtain access to this task or to have someone complete it for you, contact your system administrator.

The Identity Manager administrator populates users and defines their user views. Then, the administrator does a login test to ensure that each user can log in and has access to the appropriate views and tasks.

Verify the login for the following users in Identity Manager as shown in the table:
Table 1. Users and their Identity Manager user IDs
Name Identity Manager User ID
Judith User juser (use self-care or Identity Manager Service Center interface only)
Chuck Manager cmanager
Mike Sysadmin msysadmin
James Owner jowner
Janice Helpdesk jhelpdesk
Jeff Auditor jauditor

The user Judith User can log in to the self-care or Identity Manager Service Center user interface. However, an error occurs if you attempt to log in to the administrative console user interface. Use the self-care or Identity Manager Service Center user interface login address to log Judith in to Identity Manager.

To verify that a user can log in, complete these steps:

Procedure

  1. From the navigation tree, click Log Out as administrator.
  2. On the Login page for the user, in the User ID field, type juser and, in the Password field, type secret. Click Log In.

    This user ID is provided in the Identity Manager login ID field in the new user's Personal Information page.

  3. If you cannot log in as a user, log in as an administrator. From the navigation tree, click Manage Users to check on the existence of users, Identity Manager user accounts, and passwords.
  4. If forgotten password questions are enabled, the Specify Forgotten Password Information page prompts you for the forgotten password information. Optionally, type the information and click OK. To skip the page, click Cancel.
  5. If the password expired and you are prompted to enter a new password, type secret for the old and new passwords.
  6. Log out as the user and repeat these steps for the next user in the table.

    Each user has a different interface view, depending on their group ACIs.
