Setting Up Authentication
Here are some authentication setup tasks:
•
Integrating LDAP
• Configuring a CAS Server with RADIUS
• Setting Up Radius Authentication
Integrating LDAP
You can integrate LDAP with your OpenManage Network Manager installation in the Control
Panel > Portal Settings > Authentication > LDAP
CAUTION:
Before enabling LDAP server in Portal, you must create and assign one user from LDAP server as Portal
administrator. You will not be able to access control panel without administrator role.
Step1: Assign one user from LDAP server as Portal administrator
All users imported from an LDAP server default to the Poweruser role. The default OpenManage
Network Manager (login/password: admin/admin) cannot log into OpenManage Network Manager
once you enable authentication through LDAP. Therefore you must manually assign one user from
the LDAP server as Portal administrator. Here is an example of an LDAP database user with
Administrator privileges:
Screen name: ITAdmin
User password: ITPassword
First Name: Scott
Last Name: Smith
Email: [e-mail]
NOTE:
You cannot import users without these five attributes into OpenManage Network Manager from an LDAP
source.
Creating user ITAdmin with Administrator role:
1 As an Admin user, Go to > Control Panel.
2 Under the Portal category, click Users , then click the Add button.
3 Fill out the User form with name and email address and so on. Remember: screen name, first
name, and email address are required. OpenManage Network Manager LDAP import will not
overwrite existing users.
4 When you are finished, click Save .
5 A message appears saying that the save was successful.
6 Select the Password , enter password: ITPassword then click Save .
7 Click the Roles link. A screen appears showing the roles to which your ID is currently
assigned. By default, all users are assigned the Power User role.
