Configure LW-SSO in Operations Orchestration (OO)

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Applies to User Roles:

System Administrator

If Lightweight Single Sign-On (LW-SSO) is enabled in both Service Manager and Operations Orchestration, users who have logged on to Service Manager are allowed to sign on to Operations Orchestration through the web tier without providing a user name and password.

Note

In the following procedure, <OO_HOME> represents the Operations Orchestration home directory.
LW-SSO requires that the accounts used to log on to Operations Orchestration and Service Manager have the same account name (but can have different passwords).

To configure LW-SSO in Operations Orchestration 9.x and earlier versions:

Stop the RSCentral service.

In <OO_HOME>\Central\WEB-INF\applicationContext.xml, enable the import between LWSSO_SECTION_BEGIN and LWSSO_SECTION_END as shown below.

<!--  LWSSO_SECTION_BEGIN--> 
         <import resource="CentralLWSSOBeans.xml"/> 
<!--  LWSSO_SECTION_END -->

In <OO_HOME>\Central\WEB-INF\web.xml, enable all the filters and mappings between LWSSO_SECTION_BEGIN and LWSSO_SECTION_END as shown below.

<!-- LWSSO_SECTION_BEGIN  -->

 <filter>
    <filter-name>LWSSO</filter-name>
    <filter-class>com.iconclude.dharma.commons.util.http.DharmaFilterToBeanProxy
    </filter-class>
    <init-param>
       <param-name>targetBean</param-name>
       <param-value>dharma.LWSSOFilter</param-value>
    </init-param>
    ......

</filter>
<!-- LWSSO_SECTION_END -->

<!-- LWSSO_SECTION_BEGIN-->
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>LWSSO</filter-name><url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
<!--LWSSO_SECTION_END -->

<!-- LWSSO_SECTION_BEGIN-->
  <filter-mapping>
     <filter-name>LWSSO2Acegi</filter-name><url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
     </filter-mapping>
     <filter-mapping>
       <filter-name>dharmaLWSSOGroupsFilter</filter-name><url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>
<!--LWSSO_SECTION_END -->

In <OO_HOME>\Central\conf\lwssofmconf.xml, edit the two parameters:

domain: Domain name of the Service Manager Web tier server.
initString: Must be same as the initString value in the Service Manager LW-SSO configuration (minimum length: 12 characters). For example, smintegrationlwsso.

For example:


<webui>
 <validation>		
   <in-ui-lwsso>				
     <lwssoValidation id="ID000001">
	<domain>asia.hpqc.net</domain>
	 <crypto cipherType="symmetricBlockCipher"
	   engineName="AES" paddingModeName="CBC" keySize="256"

           encodingMode="Base64Url" 			
	    initString=" smintlwsso "></crypto>
	 </lwssoValidation>
	</in-ui-lwsso>
 </validation>
 <creation>
	 <lwssoCreationRef id="ID000002">
		<lwssoValidationRef refid="ID000001"/>
		<expirationPeriod>600000</expirationPeriod>
	 </lwssoCreationRef>
 </creation>
</webui>

Restart the RSCentral service so that the configuration takes effect.
