79.3 Configuring OpenText Access Manager (NetIQ)

When OpenText Access Manager (NetIQ) is configured and enabled in GroupWise Administration, users are prompted for their Single Sign-On (SSO) credentials when logging into GroupWise Web.

IMPORTANT:Do not use OpenText Access Manager and KeyShield SSO at the same time. Use only one or the other.

In order to configure OpenText Access Manager in GroupWise Administration, the following must be known/obtained from the Access Manager Administrator:

  • DNS Host name or IP address for the Access Manager server

  • Connection port to the server

  • (Optional) SSL certificate for the connection, if you are using SSL for Access Manager

  • Access Manager Client ID

  • Access Manager Client secret

To configure Access Manager:

  1. In the Administration Console, navigate to System > GroupWise Web > NAM Authentication.

  2. Check the Enabled box.

  3. Enter the DNS Host name, connection port, SSL certficate, Client ID, and Client Secret.

    GroupWise Web will then use Access Manager SSO if it is enabled in the Client Options for the user, post office, or domain. Selecting Allow fallback to GroupWise Authentication in the Client Options lets you use GroupWise authentication if your OpenText Access Manager server is not available.

IMPORTANT:By default, SSL is enabled for Access Manager when running the Docker image. If SSL needs to be disabled, update the Docker run command by adding: NAM_SSL_VERIFY=off.
