• Active Directory - domain\PrimaryUser
• LDAP - PrimaryUser
where
PrimaryUser is the name of the user account in LDAP or is the designated primary user
in Active Directory.
The password would be the following: [NTdomainpassword].
Step 3 - Add Users to the Management Server
You must now add your Active Directory/LDAP users to the management server. This step is required
to prevent accidental access to the management server from other AD/LDAP users. Until the user is
authenticated against Active Directory/LDAP, the management server views the user as an internal
user, whose password can be changed within the management server.
Once a user is authenticated against Active Directory/LDAP, the user is tagged as an external user
and the user’s password must be managed through Active Directory/LDAP.
1. Log onto the management server by using the designated Admin account specified in ”Step 1 -
Configure the Management Server to Use Active Directory or LDAP” on page 295.
2. Create your users as described in ”Adding Users” on page 280.
Keep in mind the following:
• (Active Directory) Prefix the user name with the domain name, for example:
domain\newuser.
• The user names you create by using the management server must match the user names in
Active Directory/LDAP.
• It is not necessary to create a password since passwords used for login are those already
configured on either the AD or LDAP server.
Step 4 - Provide Login Information to Your Users
Users are now able to log into the management server with the user name and password specified
in Active Directory/LDAP.
IMPORTANT: Tell your users not to give the password they use to access the management server to
anyone. Since user credentials are now stored in Active Directory/LDAP, the password used to
access the management server may also be used to access other accounts. In some instances, it
may be their network user name and password.
