Well, at one client they created some test user IDs (onr for each profile) on the server, using server-side security so they can control the passwords there.

Your Maximo site is setup with LDAP. Groovy.
So how do you test a userid if you don't know their AD password? In short, how do you impersonate users when testing or developing if LDAP (AD) is controlling things?

While I cannot explain the technical side of how it was done we created a PKI front end with an admin page. The users log in using a CAC validation and specific users are directed to an admin page that allows them to log in as any user or select a specific node to log into.

It works well when we are trying to resolve issues by testing to see if it is related to the user profile or a larger issue.

That sounds like a Cadillac solution! If you can get us more info on how it was done I'd love to read about it.
