Hi,
My requirement is to configure the domain users to logon webMethods.
Currently I’m using local accounts and passwords to logon webMethods (FocusConnect).
I’m using SoftwareAG version 10.5.

Can someone help me out on this, how to configure the active directory users?

Kind Regards,
Venkat

In version 10.5 you have two options

Configuring a Central User Directory or LDAP

1. Central User Management via Common Directory Services and My webMethods Server
2. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

You don’t say what webMethods products you use. If you are just using Integration Server, configuring IS to use LDAP to connect to Active Directory may be sufficient for your needs. See this

If you are using any other additional webMethods products, you should configure Central User Management in My webMethods Server.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your reply. I have configured the central user management in My webMethods server.
In Single sign-on with My webMethods Server, MWS SAML url is already configured as http://mws-host:8585/services/SAML. This is not the default port. Can I use the port 5555 instead of 8585 because the port 8585 is not open?
And to login webMethods currently I’m using https://mws-host:5555 and using local user Management. To configure central user management is it required to disable the local user management first? If yes, how to disable it?

I think you could use the https 5555 port for SAML. It doesn’t need to be the default port

You cannot disable local user management. That would be undesirable. You need to have to have at least one local account available to login in case central user management isn’t working.

From a security perspective, if you are using central user management I recommend disabling all the predefined users except Administrator. Give that one a very strong password and store it somewhere secure.

Thanks for the reply.
I have configured the SAML but it doesn’t work.
Still it is taking local accounts to logon. Due to some reason it doesn’t look the central user management configuration. Not sure what went wrong.
