Configuring Active Directory to Access Your Systems
Before you can use Active Directory to access your systems, you must configure both the Active Directory software and the systems.

1. Extend the Active Directory schema (see "Extending the Active Directory Schema.")

2. Extend the Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-in(see"Installing the Dell Extension to the Active Directory Users and Computers Snap- In.")

3. Add system users and their privileges to Active Directory (see "Adding Users and Privileges to Active Directory.")

4. For RAC systems only, enable SSL on each of your domain controllers.

5. Configure the system's Active Directory properties using either the Web-based interface or the CLI (see "Configuring Your Systems or Devices.")

Configuring the Active Directory Product Name
To configure the Active Directory product name:

1. Locate the omsaoem.ini file in your installation directory.

2. Edit the file to add the line adproductname=text, where text is the name of the product object that you created in Active Directory.
For example, the omsaoem.ini file contains the following syntax if the Active Directory product name is configured to omsaApp.
productname=Server Administrator
startmenu=Dell OpenManage Applications
autdbid=omsa
accessmask=3
adsupport=true
adproductname=omsaApp

3. Restart the DSM SA Connection Service after saving the omsaoem.ini file.
Extending the Active Directory Schema
RAC, Server Administrator, and IT Assistant schema extensions are available. You only need to extend the schema for software or hardware that you are
using. Each extension must be applied individually to receive the benefit of its software-specific settings. Extending your Active Directory schema adds schema
classes and attributes, example privileges and association objects, and a Dell organizational unit to the schema.
You can extend your schema using two different methods. You can use the Dell Schema Extender utility, or you can use the Lightweight Directory Interchange
Format (LDIF) script file.
The LDIF script files and the Dell Schema Extender are located in the following directories on your Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD:
l <DVDdrive>:\SYSMGMT\ManagementStation\support\OMActiveDirectory_Tools\
<installation type>\LDIF Files
l <DVDdrive>:\SYSMGMT\ManagementStation\support\OMActiveDirectory_Tools\
<installation type>\Schema Extender
Table9-1 list the folder names and <installation type>.
Table 9-1. Folder Names and Installation Types
NOTE: Before you extend the schema, you must have Schema Admin privileges on the Schema Master Flexible Single Master Operation (FSMO) Role
Owner of the domain forest.
NOTE: The Dell organizational unit is not added if you use the LDIF script file.
