A.1 Overview

To integrate Filr with NAM, you must configure the NetIQ Access Manager Identity Server, the Access Gateway, and configure protected resources for a Micro Focus Filr server.

A.1.1 Filr 3.1 and NAM

The integration of Filr 3.1 with NAM allows both LDAP and non-LDAP (local and external) users to log in to Filr through NAM. However, guest users cannot access Filr 3.1 through NAM. 

To integrate Filr 3.1 with NAM for non-LDAP users, you must create new classes, methods, and contracts in NAM. For LDAP users, you can either use the predefined NAM classes, methods, and contracts, or create new ones. If you have both LDAP and non-LDAP users, then you can create a new class, method, and contract to support the authentication for both LDAP and non-LDAP users.

Filr 3.1 introduces a new authentication plugin to enable both LDAP and non-LDAP (local and external) users to log in to Filr through NAM. To download and install the authentication plugin, see Downloading and Installing the Filr Authentication Plugin.

Filr 3.1 requires Access Manager 4.2 or later. For information about NetIQ Access Manager, see the Access Manager Documentation website.
