About the Update Native Directory Utility
If the external user directory configuration in Shared Services uses an identity attribute that
reflects the location of users and groups (for example, DN), inter-OU move of users and groups
can cause stale data within Native Directory because the Hyperion security system is not
synchronized to be aware of such changes. Hyperion provides the Update Native Directory
Utility to synchronize Native Directory data with the data in configured LDAP-enabled user
directories. Running this utility makes the stale provisioning data usable.
Caution!
If your Native Directory contains stale data, you must run the Update Native Directory Utility
before migrating users and groups to use the unique identity attribute.
The sequence of action for migrating to the unique identity attribute is as follows:
● Run the Update Native Directory Utility to synchronize user and group identities between
Native Directory and user directories. See “Running the Update Native Directory Utility”
on page 126.
● Reconfigure external user directories to use the unique identity attribute. See “Using the
Unique Identity Attribute to Handle Inter-OU Moves in LDAP-Enabled User Directories”
on page 38.
● Restart Shared Services.
The Update Native Directory Utility performs these actions:
● Deletes the user from Native Directory if the user account is not available in the external
user directory
