Authenticating an ESP Node

If you did not authenticate the ESP node while registering it, you can authenticate afterwards from the Perspective Resources window.

Prerequisites
Register the node and add it to the perspective.
Task
  1. In the Perspective Resources window, select the node, click the arrow, and select Authenticate.
  2. Select either:
    • Use my current SCC login - to authenticate using the SCC login user name and password. Select this option if you configured SCC to use the same authentication type as the cluster in Event Stream Processor and if both are authenticating against the same service instance. For example, this would be a convenient choice if you are using Native OS or LDAP authentication. If you select this, skip step 3 and go to step 4 directly.
    • Specify different credentials - to authenticate based on authentication type you specified while installing Event Stream Processor. This information is stored in the ProductModule.xml file.
  3. Enter authentication information based on the authentication type you specified while installing Event Stream Processor. This information is stored in the ProductModule.xml file, and must match the authentication type of the cluster in Event Stream Processor.
    Authentication Type Fields
    Native OS User name and password.
    LDAP User name and password.
    Kerberos KDC, Realm, Service Name, and Ticket cache location.
    RSA User name, Password, and Keystore location.
  4. (Optional) Select Remember these credentials for future sessions to have SCC remember the credentials for the resource across sessions.
  5. Click OK.
The node is authenticated, and you can now monitor and administer the node.
