Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
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 |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Configure LW-SSO in the Service Manager server
Applies to User Roles:
System Administrator
Service Manager servers, version 9.30 and later, support Lightweight Single Sign-On (LW-SSO). A Service Manager integration can pass an authentication token to Service Manager and does not require re-authentication. This simplifies the configuration of Single Sign-On for Micro Focus solutions by removing the need to use Symphony Adapter (which proxies LW-SSO-based authentication with the Service Manager Trusted Sign-On solution).
Enabling LW-SSO in the Service Manager server enables web service integrations from other Micro Focus products (for example, Release Control) to bypass Service Manager authentication if the product user is already authenticated and a proper token is used; enabling LW-SSO in both the Service Manager server and web tier enables users to bypass the login prompts when launching the Service Manager web client from other Micro Focus applications.
- LW-SSO version 2.5 is supported.
- If Service Manager is running in FIPS mode, ignore the steps described here and follow the instructions in Configure LW-SSO in the Server for FIPS mode instead.
To configure LW-SSO in the Service Manager server:
- Go to the <Service Manager server installation path>/RUN folder, and open lwssofmconf.xml in a text editor.
- Make sure that the
enableLWSSOFramework
attribute is set totrue
(default). -
Change the domain value
example.com
to the domain name of your Service Manager server host.Note To use LW-SSO, your Service Manager web tier and server must be deployed in the same domain; therefore you should use the same domain name for the web tier and server. If you fail to do so, users who log in from another application to the web tier can log in but may be forcibly logged out after a while.
-
Set the initString value. This value MUST be the same with the LW-SSO setting of the other Micro Focus product you want to integrate with Service Manager.
Important For LW-SSO between Service Manager and Service Manager Service Portal, the
initString
value must be 32 characters long and contain both numbers and letters. -
Optionally, you can change attributes paddingModeName, keySize, encodingMode, engineName, and cipherType. However, you must make sure that they are same with the LW-SSO setting of the other Micro Focus product that you want to integrate with Service Manager.
Caution Do not change the other configurations, such as the content in tag <restURLs>, and the attribute of tag <service>.
