Steps for selecting LTPA as the authentication mechanism
Before you begin
You need to start the Administrative Console by specifying URL: http://server_hostname:9090/admin.
Perform
the following steps to select LTPA as the authentication mechanism for this
server.
Steps for this task
Click Security > Authentication Mechanisms > LTPA in
the Navigation tree on the left.
Enter the password and confirm it in the password fields.
This password is used to encrypt and decrypt the LTPA keys during
export and import of the keys. Remember this password because you enter it
again when the keys from this cell are exported to another cell.
Enter a positive integer value in the Timeout field. This timeout
value refers to how long an LTPA token is valid in minutes.
The
token contains this expiration time so that any server that receives the token
can verify that the token is valid before proceeding further. When the token
expires, the user is prompted to log in. An optimal value for this field depends
on your configuration; there is no recommended time. The default value is
120 minutes.
Click Apply or OK. The LTPA configuration is now
set.
Complete the information in the Global Security panel and press
OK. When OK or Apply is clicked in the Global Security panel
the LTPA keys are generated automatically the first time, and therefore, you
should not generate the keys manually.
