You can deploy the User Administration module (pstsec) shipped with License Server for local authentication, as well as configure License Server to authenticate against a remote instance of User Administration, such as the pstsec shipped with Continuous Testing Platform. To configure remote authentication, edit the PSTSecConfig.xml file. The file is located in the <LS_INSTALL>/data/conf/ directory.
Edit the following elements so that License Server can communicate with User Adminstration:
- Set the
<enabled>false</enabled>element to<enabled>true</enabled> - Set the
<host>localhost</host>to the host where User Administration is deployed. - Set the
<host>8443</host>to the port where User Administration is deployed.

Option <protocol> indicates which scheme/protocol is used for remote authentication.
To set connection use 'http'. The default value is 'https'.

License Server makes a user request over HTTP(S) to User Administration when authenticating remotely. By default, License Server makes the request as the "admin" user, but you can configure License Server to authenticate with a different user by changing the <user>admin</user> element. The user you want to authenticate with should have administrative privileges (see Basic User Management).
<!--
Option <user> is the user account License Server will use for communication with the
remote authentication server (pstsec). The default value is 'admin'.
