<h1 class="topictitle1">Scenario: Configure the Management Central servers for single signon</h1>
<div><p>View this scenario to learn how to configure your Management Central
servers to participate in a single signon environment. After administrators
complete the scenario for propagating a single signon configuration across
multiple systems, they can do the necessary configuration so that their Management
Central servers can participate in the single signon environment.</p>
<div class="section" id="rzamzconfigssomgtcentral__situation"><a name="rzamzconfigssomgtcentral__situation"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectionscenariobar">Situation</h4><p>You
are a system administrator for a medium-sized parts manufacturer. You have
been using the <span class="keyword">iSeries™ Navigator</span> Management
Central server to manage a central server and three endpoint servers for the
last three years. Your responsibilities include applying PTFs, creating new
users on the network and other administrative duties. You have always liked
having the ability to send and install PTFs to multiple systems from your
central server; this saves you time. Your company has just upgraded to V5R4,
and your company's security administrator has implemented a new security policy
for your company, which requires user passwords to be different on each system
in the network. Previously, the Management Central servers required that user
profiles and passwords be identical across the network. You've learned that
in <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> V5R4 that if you
enable the Management Central servers for single signon, you no longer need
to have matching user profiles and passwords on each endpoint system to use
the Management Central server's functions. This limits the need to manage
passwords on your <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> systems.</p>
<p>You
completed the <a href="rzamzenablessoos400.htm">Scenario: Enable single
signon for i5/OS</a> for
one of your new systems, and then you completed the <a href="rzamzsynchconfig.htm#rzamzsynchconfig">Scenario: Propagate network authentication service and EIM across
multiple systems</a>. Now you want to want to configure all of your Management
Central servers to participate in this single signon environment.</p>
<div class="p">This
scenario has the following advantages:<ul><li>Reduces administration of user profiles on central and endpoint systems.</li>
<li>Reduces administrative password management for users on central and endpoint
systems.</li>
<li>Complies with the new company security policy, mandating that user passwords
be unique on each system.</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="rzamzconfigssomgtcentral__objective"><a name="rzamzconfigssomgtcentral__objective"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectionscenariobar">Objectives</h4><p>You
are one of three system administrators that work for your company. You and
the other two administrators, Amanda and George, want to create a small single
signon environment that decreases your administrative expense and simplifies
your access to centrally managed applications and network assets.</p>
<div class="p">The
objectives of this scenario are as follows:<ul><li>To comply with your company's new security policy by enabling the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> V5R4 Management Central servers
for single signon.</li>
<li>To simplify password management by eliminating the need to have the same
user profile and password on every endpoint system that is managed by the
Management Central server.</li>
<li>To allow all endpoint systems managed by the Management Central server
to participate in a single signon environment.</li>
<li>To ensure asset security within the enterprise by mapping users to EIM
identifiers instead of using policy associations.</li>
</ul>
