20.0 Managing the Enhanced Background Authentication

To access OpenText eDirectory from the EBA plug-in of OpenText Identity Console, you must have an EBA enabled server in your tree with a valid eba.p12 file. For more information about how to enable EBA on your OpenText eDirectory tree, see Enabling EBA on an OpenText eDirectory Tree in the OpenText™ eDirectory CE 24.4 (v9.3) eDirectory Administration Guide.

NOTE:If you want to use the EBA module with OpenText Identity Console, you must upgrade your OpenText eDirectory server to 9.2.4 HF2.

To open the EBA CA management page, log in to the OpenText Identity Console portal and click the EBA module.

The EBA CA management page includes the following tabs to manage different aspects of EBA CA:

  • General: Displays the IP address of EBA CA and its certificate.

  • Certificates Issued: Displays the NCP CA certificates along with their IP address and port.

    To revoke a certificate, select the certificate and click . Use this option only in extreme situations, because the server owning the NCP CA certificate will become non-functional when you revoke its certificate. Usually, revoking the certificate becomes necessary when a server is compromised.

  • CSR: Lists the pending certificate signing requests for administrator approval. To approve a certificate signing request, select the certificate from the list and click Approve.
