Chapter 6. Sonatype CLM - Security Administration

Sonatype CLM uses the term Security to broadly refer to user accounts, passwords, and associated permissions. Regardless of the name, it shares a similarity to most systems in that open access isn’t something that is permitted. This means, that unless you have a Sonatype CLM user account, you won’t be able to view and make edits to policies, policy elements, and/or reports. Of course there are a variety of ways this can be accomplished, including simply using the default admin account that ships with the system.

In this chapter we’ll walk you through logging into the server and creating additional users. We will also cover common user management protocols like Light Weight Directory Protocol (LDAP). Ultimately what we provide here is a set of best practices aimed at walking you through both an initial setup of Sonatype CLM security, as well as assist those that may just be looking to make modifications to one that already exists.

[Important]

It is important to note, that this chapter is aimed at system administrators, and isn’t a guide for other users of Sonatype CLM. Most areas discussed here will require a user account that has been assigned to the System and/or CLM Administrator role.
