Associating User Accounts¶
MWARE IAM allows you to associate multiple accounts you may have, and switch between accounts once you associate accounts. MWARE IAM also allows you to connect your federated user credentials with your MWARE IAM account. This topic provides instructions on how to associate all your user accounts to the account with which you have logged on.
Note
If you want to associate user accounts of federated users via
My Account, add the following configuration to the /repository/conf/deployment.toml
file.
[user.association]
enable_for_federated_users = trueThe recommended approach is to have the enable_for_federated_users parameter set to false so that manual
federated user association is not allowed by default via My Account.
Follow one of the two approaches below to associate all your user accounts:
Using the AdminService¶
The first approach is to use the AdminService . You
can access this admin service using the following URL: '
https://<HOST_NAME>:9443/services/UserAccountAssociationService?wsdl'. If you are new to admin services, see Calling Admin Services.
The following actions can be performed using above admin service.
- Create a new user account association
- Delete an existing user account association
- Get all associated user accounts of the logged in user
- Switch between associated user accounts without re-authenticate with the system
Using the My Account¶
The MWARE IAM My Account can be used to associate the accounts. You can associate a local user account or a federated user accounts. See Linked Accounts under My Account for details.
