Creating identifier associations for John Day

You must create the appropriate associations between the EIM identifier, John Day, and the user identities that the person represented by the identifier uses. These identifier associations, when properly configured, enable the user to participate in a single sign-on environment.

In this scenario, you need to create one source association and two target associations for the John Day identifier:

• A source association for the jday Kerberos principal, which is the user identity that John Day uses to log in to Windows^® and the network. The source association allows the Kerberos principal to be mapped to another user identity as defined in a corresponding target association.

• A target association for the JOHND i5/OS^® user profile, which is the user identity that John Day uses to log in to iSeries™ Navigator and other i5/OS applications on System A. The target association specifies that a mapping lookup operation can map to this user identity from another one as defined in a source association for the same identifier.

• A target association for the DAYJO i5/OS user profile, which is the user identity that John Day uses to log in to iSeries Navigator and other i5/OS applications on System B. The target association specifies that a mapping lookup operation can map to this user identity from another one as defined in a source association for the same identifier.

Use the information from your planning work sheets to create the associations.
