Create a User Account and Authentication (UAA) Client

Extra configuration is required when defining users that have specific security roles with an authentication and enterprise single sign-on (SSO) such as LDAP.

Authenticating using an authentication and enterprise SSO system such as LDAP uses the User Account and Authentication (UAA) server. Access the UAA server through its command-line interface, UAAC.

When enabling the use of an authentication and enterprise single sign-on (SSO) such as LDAP during VMware Tanzu GemFire for VMs tile configuration, you will specify a UAA client, as described in Security. This procedure creates that UAA client.

Create a UAA client for use in tile configuration with the command:

uaac client add cloudcache_gfsh --scope="PCC_*" --secret="THE-SECRET"
   --authorized_grant_types=password

Replace THE-SECRET with your chosen password (secret) for this UAA client. The remainder of the command is exactly as shown. The UAA client name is cloudcache_gfsh.
