Inventoried-Only Device Requirements

You can use ZENworks 11 to inventory workstations and servers by deploying the Inventory-Only

module on these devices.

IMPORTANT: If there are ZENworks product issues that are caused by an issue with the platform,

the following support standards apply:

 Platforms that are generally supported by platform vendors are supported by Novell.

 If the platform vendor provides support to your installations through a special agreement (such

as extended support), Novell expects you to extend this support infrastructure to us to resolve

the issue.

 If the platform vendor does not support the platform at all, Novell offers no additional support.

The inventoried-only devices must meet the following requirements:

Table 1-8 Inventoried-Only Device Requirements

LDAP user access ZENworks requires only read access to the LDAP directory. For more

information, see “Connecting to User Sources” in the ZENworks 11 SP2

Administration Quick Start.

LDAP Authentication Simple bind

Simple bind is in which an application provides a Distinguished Name (DN) and

the clear text password for that DN. To use a simple bind, the client must supply

the DN of an existing LDAP entry and a password which matches the

userPassword attribute for that entry. The Administrator can also enter the DN

and the clear text password by using the Configuration page in the ZENworks

Control Center.
