STA User Roles

Each STA user has an assigned role (Viewer, Operator, or Administrator), which determines what the user can access.

See "User Roles and Privileges" in the STA User's Guide for more information.

SNMPv3 Credentials (SL150, SL500, SL3000, SL8500)

Communication between the STA server and SNMP library interfaces (SL150, SL500, SL300, SL8500) requires SNMPv3 user, authentication, and privacy credentials. You must maintain these credentials on the library and on STA. See STA installation and configuration documentation for details on configuring these credentials.

SCI Credentials (SL4000)

HTTPS communication using standard TLS protocol from STA to an SL4000 library requires SCI credentials. Before connecting the library to STA, you will need to define credentials with the “User” role on the library side. Oracle recommends using different usernames and passwords for each SL4000 library connected to STA. A secure wallet within STA stores the credentials for each SL4000 library connected to it.

See "Add, Modify, or Delete a User" in the SL4000 Library Guide to create a user on the library.

See STA installation and configuration documentation for details on configuring the SL4000 connection.

OSCI Credentials (SL4000)

HTTPS communication using standard TLS protocol from an SL4000 library to STA requires OSCI credentials. Within STA, you will need to define credentials with the "Operator" role. The SL4000 then stores these credentials within a secure wallet on the library.

See "Add, Modify, or Delete a User" in the STA User's Guide for details on creating a user.

See STA installation and configuration documentation for details on configuring the SL4000 connection.

SMTP Email Server

You can configure the emails sent from STA to use a secure connection protocol (either standard TLS or SSL) and provide credential information if the SMTP server requires authentication.

See "Define the SMTP Email Server" in the STA User's Guide.

External Authentication Providers

You can configure Oracle's WebLogic Server to use one or more external authentication providers to authenticate users for STA.

See STA installation and configuration documentation for details on configuring external authentication providers.
