To map external user groups to predefined WS-NOC roles

Purpose

In shared-mode deployments that include the WS-NOC product, nspOS is hosted on the NSP cluster rather than the WS-NOC server. When the CAS authenticates a user against an authentication source, and that user needs access to WS-NOC, that user group property needs to be mapped to an WS-NOC predefined role (except for read-only viewer access).

Steps


1	Install the WS-NOC with NSP integration by enabling the “nsp” option in the `install_ dir`/config/bench/configuration.json file. This enables WS-NOC to connect to NSP for centralized authentication.
2	Copy the external authentication mapping file template from `/mcp/app/templates/MW-INT/ext-auth-map.properties` to `/mcp/config/bench/ext-auth-map.properties`.
3	Update /`mcp/config/bench/ext-auth-map.properties` to map external user groups returned by CAS to the corresponding WS-NOC authorization profiles for your deployment. End of steps
