Create source association and target association for the new EIM identifier

You must create the appropriate associations between the EIM identifier and the user identities that the person represented by the identifier uses. These identifier associations, when properly configured, enable the user to participate in a single signon environment.

In this scenario, you need to create two identifier associations for the John Day identifier:
  • A source association for the jday Kerberos principal, which is the user identity that John Day, the person, uses to log in to Windows® and the network. The source association allows the Kerberos principal to be mapped to another user identity as defined in a corresponding target association.
  • A target association for the JOHND i5/OS™ user profile, which is the user identity that John Day, the person, uses to log in to iSeries™ Navigator and other i5/OS applications on iSeries A. The target association specifies that a mapping lookup operation can map to this user identity from another one as defined in a source association for the same identifier.

Now that you have created the John Day identifier, you need to create both a source association and a target association for it.

To create a source association between the Kerberos principal and the John Day identifier, follow these steps:

  1. In iSeries Navigator, expand iSeries A > Enterprise Identity Mapping > Domain Management > MyCoEimDomain > Identifiers.
  2. Right-click John Day, and select Properties.
  3. On the Associations page, click Add.
  4. In the Add Association dialog, specify or Browse... to select the following information, and click OK:
    • Registry: MYCO.COM
    • User: jday
    • Association type: Source
  5. Click OK to close the Add Association dialog.

To create a target association between the i5/OS user profile and the John Day identifier, follow these steps:

  1. Click OK to close the Add Association dialog.
  2. On the Associations page, click Add.
  3. On the Add Association dialog, specify or Browse... to select the following information, and click OK:
    • Registry: ISERIESA.MYCO.COM
    • User: JOHND
    • Association type: Target
  4. Click OK to close the Add Association dialog.
  5. Click OK to close the Properties dialog.

Now that you have created an identifier and added the appropriate associations to the identifier, you need to test that the mappings between associated user identities works correctly.
