How To
Summary
IBMid is one of three authentication methods supported by IBM Blueworks Live.
You must have administrator access to modify account authentication settings.
Objective
This document describes how to enable and use IBMid authentication for your Blueworks Live account.
Each account in Blueworks Live uses one or more authentication methods for its users:
- Blueworks Live authentication: Blueworks Live-specific credentials. Users must remember a specific password, which is kept in Blueworks Live.
- Single Sign-On (SSO, SAML 2.0): The user's password is managed by their corporate identity provider and not kept in Blueworks Live. This setup requires configuration on the customer's environment by an IT team.
- IBMid: IBMid is an identity service to allow customers (and IBMers) to engage digitally with IBM. It allows the same credentials to be used across all IBM service such as: IBM support site, forums, request for enhancements (RFE) site, sales and passport advantage sites, and many more.
- Similar to SSO, IBMid can also be federated with an enterprise Identity Provider (IdP) to handle the user authentication instead of IBMid authentication
- For IBM users who access Blueworks Live with IBMid, their IBMid is automatically routed to their w3id login.
Note: All IBM internal accounts, and all new Blueworks Live accounts created after July 2019 use IBMid authentication by default.
