Objective 6.1 – Manage authentication configuration to meet business requirements

Setting Description
Directories The Directories page enables you to create and manage Active Directory links to support vRealize Automation tenant user authentication and authorization. You create one or more directories and then sync those directories with your Active Directory deployment. This page displays the number of groups and users that are synced to the directory and the last sync time. You can click Sync Now, to manually start the directory sync.
Connectors The Connectors page lists deployed connectors for your enterprise network. A connector syncs user and group data between Active Directory and the Directories Management service, and when it is used as the identity provider, authenticates users to the service.
User Attributes The User Attributes page lists the default user attributes that sync in the directory and you can add other attributes that you can map to Active Directory attributes.
Identity Providers The Identity Providers page lists identity providers that are available on your system. vRealize Automation systems contain a connector that serves as the default identity provider and that suffices for many user needs. You can add third-party identity provider instances or have a combination of both.
