Configuring IMS
The following figure shows how the Oracle Fabric Interconnect handles a login
request when using the internal IMS and when using an external system.
If you want to use the internal IMS, all you need to do is add any necessary user
accounts as described in “Using the Internal IMS” on page 250. If you would like to
use an existing identity management system, the process follows:
1. Set up your external system as described in the appropriate section of this
chapter.
■ If you are using Active Directory, follow the instructions in “Using Active
Directory as the IMS” on page 254.
■ If you are using RADIUS, follow the instructions in “Using Role Group
Mappings for AD/LDAP Users” on page 259.
2. Set the IMS in the Oracle Fabric Interconnect to your external system.
3. Use the set ims command to specify your configured identity management
system.
