Adding an identity to the Physical view

You can use an Identity when it is necessary to authenticate to a third party (for example, when you are importing or synchronizing with a WSDL by using a secure URL, when you are monitoring a remote log file over SSH). To add an Identity to the Physical view of the Architecture School perspective, use the General menu.

Click General > Identity to add an Identity to your project.

Table 1. Fields that define an Identity

Field	Description
Type	The type of authentication to use.
Configuration	Authentication details, depending on the value of the Type field: Username/Password The user name and password that are to be sent. Certificate/Private Key An existing identity store and one of the private keys that it contains. SSH Private Key Enter a user name and browse to select the appropriate private key. If a passphrase is required for the selected key, enter it in the Passphrase field. RACF® The user name and password, the name of the relevant RACF® entity, and the name of the relevant application.
