Sonatype CLM Server - Security Administration Guide

Chapter 2. User Management

2.1. Logging in to Sonatype CLM
2.2. Changing the Admin Password
2.3. Creating a User
2.4. Editing and Deleting User Information

The Sonatype CLM Server requires a username and password before any policies or policy elements can be created, viewed, and edited. When a user is created specific to Sonatype CLM, we consider this user to be part of the Sonatype Realm. This is also considered independent of other connected realms such as LDAP.

While Sonatype does suggest using a security protocol such as LDAP for managing users and permissions, the Sonatype Realm is still available for those who would like a lighter setup, where all users, groups and rights are stored directly in the Sonatype CLM server.. The function of user management in the Sonatype Realm focuses on managing all the elements of a user account. In this section we will cover:

Logging In and Logging Out
Managing the Admin Password / Account
Creating, Editing and Deleting Users
- First and Last Names
- E-mail Addresses
Changing Passwords
