User Authentication and Password Encryption

You can configure authentication for URLs in

Data Director

(IDD). When enabled, when users log in, they pass their user name and password to the URL in

Data Director

. You can also configure

Data Director

to pass the user name and password in an encrypted format.

By default, as a security precaution, the automatic login functionality is disabled. To enable this functionality so that login credentials can be passed as parameters in an URL, add the following setting to

cmxserver.properties

and restart the application server:

cmx.bdd.enable_url_authentication=true

If you use a password encryption tool to encrypt a password, you must use the same key to encrypt and decrypt the password.

For more information about configuring the

cmxserver.properties

file, see the "MDM Hub Properties" appendix in the

Multidomain MDM Configuration Guide

For more information about encrypting the user name and password, see the "User Interface Extensions" section in the

Multidomain MDM Data Director Implementation Guide

For more information about the password encryption tool, see the
