Authentication

    To access Operational Insights, administrators and applications must be authenticated.

    To use Operational Insights, authenticate using a username and password. You can validate and manage these credentials with Operational Insights itself, or through 1 of the following methods on a network-accessible directory server:

    • Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

    • Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM)

    Operational Insights 2.2 and later also supports JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication. JWT allows clients to authenticate using a bearer token issued by a trusted Identity Provider (IdP) — such as Keycloak or Okta — instead of a username and password. See Configure JWT Authentication.
