Managing users and authentications#

Use User authorization and User authentication to manage users and authentication.

Users can be created, modified, or removed in HCL™ Accelerate.

Users can be authenticated from the systems detailed in the following table:

Authentication method	UI	API
Local	Supported	Not supported
LDAP	Supported	Not supported
SSO	Supported	Not supported
User access key (UAK)	Not supported	Supported

API authentication

UAK is the recommended method through the API. An example for UAK is:

curl -X POST -k -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: UserAccessKey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'.

Details for configuring UAKs are found here.

• Managing users
  Use the Users page to create, edit, or remove users.
• Creating a header-based SSO authentication integration
  A header-based single sign-on (SSO) authentication realm uses an external server for authentication.
