To use the Configuration Console effectively you must configure
the browsers, set up accounts for the appropriate users and manage access
to the Configuration Console.
Configuration Console
The Configuration Console is a graphical user interface that you
use to configure the system and monitor the product.
User roles and responsibilities
User roles help categorize the typical tasks that must
be completed to effectively deploy and use IBM InfoSphere Identity
Insight. Many different types of users might use IBM InfoSphere Identity
Insight for various purposes; that is, users take on
the responsibilities of one or more roles in using the product.
Logging out of the Configuration Console
You can log out of a current Configuration Console session without
exiting the application. If there is no activity for 60 minutes, the Configuration
Console automatically logs out the current user.
User accounts for the Configuration Console
To log in to the Configuration Console, your system administrator
creates and gives you a user account. User accounts include a user name and
a password which you can change.
Managing access to the Configuration Console
Each user of the Configuration Console must be given access to
it and use a user name and password to log in to it. You can manage the user
names and passwords using the application-specific file provided by the Configuration
Console. Or if your users have RDBMS user accounts that allow them to access
the entity database, you can use those user accounts and the database administration
tools to manage users' access to the Configuration Console. These user names
and passwords are separate from those configured to access the Visualizer
and are not necessarily the same as Visualizer user names and passwords.
