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 |

Install and configure the standalone IdM service
Important This topic describes how to install and configure the standalone version of the IdM service released with Service Manager. If your organization is using the Service Manager Service Portal user portal, you must use the IdM service bundled with Service Manager Service Portal instead. For more information, see Configure SAML SSO using the Service Portal IdM.
Service Manager (SM) leverages Micro Focus Identity Manager (IdM) to support Single Sign-On (SSO) using SAML 2.0. To set up SAML SSO for Service Manager, you need to install the IdM service and create a trust relationship with a third-party identity provider (IdP, such as Microsoft ADFS). In the SAML SSO process, the IdM service acts as a service provider (SP) to the IdP.
