3 Active System Manager Setup

This section captures the sequence of steps which should be followed within Active System Manager for

managing deploying the blade servers in the Active System 800.

3.1 User and Group Management

You can manage users and groups within the Active System Manager either directly (by entering the

values for individual users and groups from the Windows Client graphical user interface [GUI]), or by

importing users from an external repository, such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP),

Active Directory (AD), or Network Information Service (NIS).

For user management, log in to the Windows client and navigate to Tools > User and Groups. The

Security Management—Users and Groups dialog box displays.

Note:

Set the time zone to match the time on the workstation that the Active System Manager client is

installed.

For details on user and group administration, see the “User Profile Management” chapter in the Active

System Manager User Guide, which is downloadable from the Active System Manager 7.0 web portal

(Help menu) or from the Thick client(Eclipse-based).
