2.2 Accessing Identity Manager Data Collection Services

You can launch Identity Manager Data Collection Services directly from a browser.

By default, Identity Manager uses One SSO Provider (SSO) for single sign-on access to Identity Manager components. When you install Data Collection Services, you specify the basic settings for user authentication. However, you can also configure the OSP authentication server to accept authentication from the Kerberos ticket server or SAML IDP. For example, you can use SAML to support authentication from NetIQ Access Manager.

2.2.1 Launching Data Collection Services from Identity Manager Application Page

The Applications page of the identity applications includes a link to Data Collection Service for all Identity Manager users and administrators. Log in to the identity applications using the OSP login as a Report Administrator. You can access the Applications page with any supported Web browser, from either a computer or a tablet. For more information, see Technical Information for Identity Manager page.

2.2.2 Starting Data Collection Services Directly with a URL

To access Data Collection Services directly, open a Web browser and go to the address (URL) for the module (as supplied by your system administrator). The URL will follow this pattern:

http(s)://server:<port>/idmdcs/
