Verifying network authentication service and EIM configuration

 

Now that you have verified the individual pieces of your single signon configuration and ensured that all setup is complete, verify that you have configured EIM and network authentication service correctly and that single signon works as expected.

To verify that your single signon environment works correctly, have John Day follow these steps:

  1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand System A to open a connection to System A.

  2. Press F5 to refresh the screen.

  3. In the right pane, find System A in the Name column, and verify that John Day's i5/OS® user profile, JOHND, is displayed as the corresponding entry in the Signed On User column.

iSeries Navigator successfully used EIM to map the jday Kerberos principal to the JOHND System A user profile because of the associations defined for EIM identifier, John Day. The iSeries Navigator session for System A is now connected as JOHND.
