In this Open Mic, a panel of IBM experts discuss how to properly configure and troubleshoot the InfoMap Authentication Mechanism within the IBM Security Access Manager appliance.

This course demonstrates how to call the Access Manager SCIM REST APIs using Basic Authentication and OAuth 2 Authentication. In this course, you first download and review the reference SCIM API documentation. Then, you configure the Reverse Proxy for API access using Basic authentication and also using the OAuth access tokens. Finally, you call the API using the Curl and the Postman utilities.

IBM Security Access Manager (ISAM) provides SCIM-based web services for user and group management. In this course, you use the SCIM Configuration page in the Access Manager Local Management Interface (LMI) to configure the SCIM capabilities. Then, you secure the SCIM endpoints using a Reverse Proxy. You also enable the built-in SCIM demonstration application that uses SCIM calls for user management.

IBM Security Access Manager (ISAM) has a built-in demo application that is useful to demonstrate advanced authentication and authorization scenarios. You can also use this application to access information such as ISAM credential and session attributes, HTTP headers, and location attributes useful to diagnose setup problems.

This video course demonstrates the steps to enable and configure the demo application.

Password re-use by users and password phishing create security breach concerns.  The FIDO Alliance promotes and delivers authentication standards that reduce the reliance on passwords.  This video demonstrates how to use FIDO2 authenticators with IBM Access Manager 9.0.7.

Within Access Manager appliances, there is an authentication service with a number of authentication mechanisms.  In this video, you will learn about the authentication service, provided authentication mechanisms, and custom authentication.

IBM Access Manager also known as IBM Security Access Manager V9 provides an add-on module for Advanced Access Control (AAC). In this Open Mic organized by Access Manager support team, they give an overview of the One time password (OTP) feature available in the AAC module. It is also demonstrated how to configure and use this feature. After the presentation, attendees were given an opportunity to ask the panel of experts questions.

In this course, you will learn about the three user self-care flows in IBM Access Manager with the Advanced Access Control add-on: forgotten username, forgotten password, self-registration.
