Software Distribution Self Service Portal overview
The Software Distribution Self Service Portal is a web-based software portal for user self-provisioning. The Self Service Portal supports endpoints that are on Windows, AIX, and Solaris.
Multi-tenancy setup for the Self Service Portal
Setting up a multi-tenant environment with the Self Service Portal (SSP), the SSP must be manually configured. The Trusted Service Provider (TSP) must also be manually configured to allow communication to the SSP.
Configuring the Trusted Service Provider
Communication from the IBM® BigFix server and WebReports to the SSP passes through the Trusted Service Provider (TSP). The TSP must have These credentials manually configured.

Configuring the Trusted Service Provider

Communication from the IBM® BigFix server and WebReports to the SSP passes through the Trusted Service Provider (TSP). The TSP must have These credentials manually configured.

Procedure

Run the following commands and replace the examples in brackets <>.

tsp.bat config tem_server <hostname.domain.com>
 tsp.bat config tem_user <username>
 tsp.bat config tem_pass <password>
 
 tsp.bat config wr_path "<http://hostname.domain.com>"
 tsp.bat config wr_user <username>
 tsp.bat config wr_pass <password>

Configure the SAML certification fingerprint for each of the enrollment tags that you want the TSP to recognize for SAML authorization.
```
tsp.bat saml_cert set "<enrollment tag>" "<saml certificate file or fingerprint>"
```
The fingerprint can be found by using the OpenSSL tool:
```
openssl x509 -in your-cert.pem -fingerprint -sha1
```
Note: The fingerprint entered here exactly must match the one entered during SAML configuration.
