NetIQ Documentation: Operations Center 5.0 Security Management Guide - Enabling Automatic User Login

2.7 Enabling Automatic User Login

The Operations Center server supports the automatic login of users. Enabling auto-login requires the following:

The user must already have an account in Operations Center
The formula.properties and applet-params.xml files must be modified on the Operations Center server as described below
A specified HTTP header exists and has a valid Operations Center user name when the Operations Server console connects to the Operations Center Web server to resolve the initial CORBA IOR reference

To enable automatic user login:

Configure the following three properties in the formula.properties file as indicated:

Server.header.auth.principal= should be set to the HTTP header name that will be used, such as remote-user.

# Server.allow.auth.principal
# Allow token based logins if true.
Server.allow.auth.principal=true

# Server.header.auth.principal
# Header used for the token login principal.
Server.header.auth.principal=auth-principal

# Server.header.auth.token
# Header used for the token login token.
Server.header.auth.token=auth-token

Configure the following three properties in the applet-param.xml file as indicated:
```
<param name="Connection.allow.auth.principal" value="true" />
<param name="Connection.header.auth.principal" value="auth-principal" />
<param name="Connection.header.auth.token" value="auth-token" />
```
Connection.header.auth.principal and Connection.header.auth.token properties must have the same values as the corresponding properties in the formula.properties file.
