3.1 Accessing the Identity Reporting Module

You can launch Reporting Module from the Identity Manager Home page or access it directly from a browser.

By default, Identity Manager uses One SSO Provider (SSO) for single sign-on access in Identity Manager. When you install Identity Reporting, 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. For more information, see Using Single Sign-on Access in Identity Manager in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.

NOTE:To access the Reporting Module, LDAP users must be a Reporting Administrator and be able to read all the attributes in their own user object. Therefore, grant the user read trustee rights to the user’s own nrfMemberOf attribute.

3.1.1 Launching the Reporting Module from the Identity Manager Home Page

Identity Manager 4.5 includes Identity Manager Home and Identity Manager Provisioning Dashboard. Identity Manager Home (the Home page) provides a single access point for all Identity Manager users and administrators. It allows access to all existing functionality in RBPM and the User Application, as well as provides additional user-oriented features.

To access the Reporting Module from the Identity Manager Home page, log in to the Identity Manager Home page using the OSP login as a Report Administrator. For more information, see Accessing Identity Manager Homein the NetIQ Identity Manager Home and Provisioning Dashboard User Guide . After you log in, the Identity Manager Landing page displays. This page provides default links to the basic tasks users and administrators need to perform in Identity Manager. You can access the Home page with any supported Web browser, from either a computer or a tablet. For more information, see System Requirements for the Identity Applicationsin the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.

3.1.2 Starting the Reporting Module Directly with a URL

To access the Reporting Module 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://server:8180/IDMRPT/
