2.9.2 Changing the user directory host or port
The user directory is used for authentication, user management, and access control. It stores all
user and group data, account data, group lists, and access control instructions (ACIs).
There can be multiple user directories in a single deployment because using multiple user
directories enhances overall performance for organizations which are geographically spread out,
which have high usage, or have discrete divisions which benefit from individual directories.
Admin Server can be configured to authenticate users against multiple user directories.
To change the information for the user directory:
1. Open the Admin Server management window.
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. Click the User DS tab.
4. Set the User Directory Server connection information.
5. Edit the user directory information.
