SDM authentication with Siteminder

  • 1.  SDM authentication with Siteminder

    Hi all,
    I'm running Clarity Service Management 17.1. I use Sitemider (CA Single Sign On) to authentication because oAuth 2.0 is my authentication provider.
    CA Service Catalog was sucessfully configured to look for userid at our request header (sm_user).

    However, when I try to make the same with SDM, it still prompts for user id and password after external authentication was made.

    According to this documentation: https://techdocs.broadcom.com/content/broadcom/techdocs/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/business-management/ca-service-management/14-1/administering/configure-ca-service-desk-manager/ca-sdm-user-authentication.htm, external authentication is already enabled in SDM for this user access type validation type is CA EEM and I am also accessing through a secure-server.

    Is there any way to tell SDM the name of our header variable to take user's userid or is there another configuration I am missing to do correctly?

    Regards,
    Fabio.
