Authentication and single logon

When a WebSphere Commerce Site administrator sends a command to Payments, the administrator is authenticated by the realm, and then authorized through the Payments access control facility.

The WebSphere Commerce Site Administrator must belong to one of the four Payments defined access roles to have access to the Payments functions:
  • Payments Administrator
  • Merchant Administrator
  • Supervisor
  • Clerk

If you enable single realm and single logon, active WebSphere Commerce Site Administrator login IDs are listed in the Payments user interface. Any WebSphere Commerce user with the Payments Administrator role can assign Payments access roles to any administrators who are displayed on the list. Additionally, once an administrator with Payments defined access roles has logged into WebSphere Commerce Accelerator or the Organization Administration Console, the WebSphere Commerce user can launch the Payments user interface without having to log on again.

The WebSphere Commerce Site Administrator ID created during instance creation is automatically given the Payments access role of Payments Administrator.
