Using the Authentication and Authorization Feature
To be authenticated and authorized to have the list of the projects displayed in IBM® AD Analyze Client, you need to perform the following actions:
Configure Authentication Server (DEX)
The current implementation of the Authentication and Authorization feature, is based on OAuth2 authorization framework, and needs to have available an Authentication Server (DEX).
The provided Authentication Server is based on DEX and provides an authentication solution, which connects through LDAP to Secure Storage. For more information about DEX, go to the DEX documentation.
Follow the configuration steps that are needed to have up and running Authentication Server (DEX):
Authenticate in IBM AD Analyze Client
If the Authentication and Authorization feature is enabled, you need to be authenticated in IBM AD Analyze Client to have the list of the projects displayed.
To be authenticated and authorized, follow the instructions in Authorization and Authentication.
Restrictions that can be applied
- On projects - by selecting whether a workspace is public, closed, or available only for specified user groups, you can restrict the number of projects that a user can see. If you select the Access Control List (ACL) option, you can then select the user groups that have access to the current workspace. For more information about user access to workspaces, see Managing workspaces' access rights.
- On Source Files - by defining which User Groups can access the related mapping folders in IBM AD File Service, you can restrict the source files that a user can access through IBM AD Analyze Client. For more information, see Configuring IBM AD File Service.
