Chapter 1 Jaguar Configuration

Managing identities

Identities define user names and passwords used for intercomponent calls. If a component's Run-As Identity property is set to Specified, then intercomponent calls issued by the component use the user name and password defined in a Jaguar Manager identity.

To create an identity:

1. Highlight the Identities folder in Jaguar Manager.
   
   
2. Choose File | New Identity.
   
   
3. Enter a name for the new identity and click Create New Identity, then enter the identity properties described in "Identity properties".
   
   

To view or change an identity:

1. Expand the Identities folder.
   
   
2. Highlight the identity of interest.
   
   
3. Choose File | Identity Properties.
   
   
4. Edit identity properties. See "Identity properties" for more information.
   
   

To delete an identity:

1. Expand the Identities folder.
   
   
2. Highlight the identity of interest.
   
   
3. Choose File | Delete Identity.
   
   

Identity properties

The Identity Properties dialog has three tabs: Basic, SSL, and Entrust.

The Basic tab is where you specify the user name and password for the identity.

Use the SSL tab to define whether SSL is used for connections made using the identity, and if so, the characteristics of the SSL session.

• Security characteristic If set to none, SSL is not used. Otherwise, specifies the minimum level of SSL security that connections must support. The available settings depend on whether your installation supports full-strength U.S. domestic encryption, or the export-legal level of encryption. See Chapter 5, "Security Configuration" for more information.
• Description Jaguar Manager fills in this field with a description of the specified security characteristic.
• Certificate Label For connections that require mutual authentication, specifies the name of a client certificate to use.
• Use Entrust Whether to use an Entrust user profile as a client certificate for connections that require mutual authentication. Jaguar does not come with Entrust software, but if Entrust is installed at your site, you can configure the identity to use an Entrust ID. If this check box is selected the Certificate Label setting is ignored.

The settings on the Entrust tab are ignored unless you have also selected the Use Entrust check box on the SSL tab.

• Entrust INI File The full path to the entrust.ini file.
• Entrust User Profile The full path to an Entrust user profile (.epf file).
• Entrust Password The password that opens the specified Entrust user profile.
