map.apps User Management

By connecting to map.apps User Management, the following possibilities exist:

  • Assignment of roles for the use of the map.apps Manager

  • Protection of apps

  • Protection of tools

Configuration of the connection

When purchasing the map.apps user management extension, a functionally limited version of security.manager is provided. In the following therefore, settings in security.manager are mentioned.

Operation of map.apps and security.manager on the same host

The following parameters must be added or changed in map.apps Configuration.

security.mode=ONLY_AUTHN

# security.manager adminstration service location
security.administration.url=https://<yourserver>/administration

# Key Store Location.
# This is the path to the keystore (`.keystore` file) shared by security.manager and map.apps
security.keystore.location=C:/data/conterra/.keystore

If further settings for the keystore have been changed in security.manager (for example password), these must also be added in the map.apps configuration.

Operation of map.apps and security.manager on different hosts

If security.manager is installed on a different server than map.apps, the keystore must be copied to the map.apps server.

In addition to the settings described in the previous section, the following parameter must be added or changed in security.manager configuration.

# Hostname of the server running map.apps
security.allowed.hostnames=<mapappsserver>
