Owner's Manual

For Windows installations:

• Change local database settings: If you install Power Center using local database settings, you can change the

settings (except PostgreSQL Host) on the Settings screen after installation. Power Center does not support

switching from the local database to the remote database.

• Change remote database settings: If you install Power Center using remote database settings, you can change

all the settings in the Settings screen after installation.

Before changing the database settings, the system must meet the following requirements:

• The correct connection information (Server Name, Database Port, Database User Name, Database User

Password) are provided.

• The new database must be an existing Power Center database, and the version of PostgreSQL is at least 8.3.5.

• If the new database is located on a remote server, the database service on the remote server must be able to

accept the remote database connection.

You can configure the following database settings on the Settings screen:

• PostgreSql Host

• PostgreSql Port

• User Name

• Password

For Linux installations:

1. Log into the OMPC server using the root user account.

2. Type /opt/dell/ompc/config.sh to access the command line interface.

3. Modify database settings.

4. Close command line interface.

LDAP Settings

Configure LDAP settings to manage user authentication and certificate validation.

1. Click Settings in the left pane.

2. Under LDAP Settings, click Edit.

3. To enable LDAP authentication, place a checkmark in the Enable LDAP User Authentication checkbox, then provide

the following information:

– LDAP Server Address (required). Enter single DNS names or IP addresses, or multiple names or addresses

separated by a comma. For example:

192.25.46.89,192.25.47.68

– LDAP Server Port (required). Enter the port number for the LDAP server over SSL. The default port number

is 636.

– Bind Distinguished Name (optional). Where a Bind Distinguished Name is not provided, Power Center will

use an anonymous bind to search for the user's login Distinguished Name. For example:

uid=mark,ou=manager,dc=dell,dc=com

If a Bind Distinguished Name is provided, Power Center will not attempt an anonymous bind search.

– Bind Password (optional unless a Bind Distinguished Name is provided).
