Configuring Security Sources

To set up your user management policy, you need to:

  1. Configure the system used to authenticate users in the application using security sources. For example, you can create a simple security source or an LDAP security source. See Configuring Security Sources.
  2. Define access rights to Exalead CloudView interfaces using roles. By default, there are seven predefined roles. Each role contains a list of read/write per­missions to screens in the application. See Configure Roles in the Exalead CloudView Installation Guide.
  3. Associate roles to users using security tokens. See Configuring User Access.
