About User Definition and Identity Manager
Demographic fields that have been mapped using Identity Manager are populated when a user logs into myAvatar. These fields are updated every day, at the user's first login of the day.
This page describes the altered functionality of the User Definition form when using myAvatar Identity Manager.
Prerequisites:
- The Enable myAvatar Identity Manager registry setting must be set to Y or L.
myAvatar Identity Manager functionality takes the place of these fields:
- User ID
- Deactivate User
- System Generated Password
- Generate New Password
- Password Term Duration (Days)
- Allow User Renewal
- Reminder Notice Number of Days
User Definition section
The parent product uses the Identity Manager settings in the System Defaults form (Identity Manager Settings section), to access the Identity Manager server and to validate user identification.
Associate User to Network ID Through Identity Manager field options:
| Option | Results |
