User Guide

If you receive Java Virtual Machine (JVM) errors in User Management Console while using
Microsoft Internet Explorer, ensure that your Internet Explorer installation includes Microsoft
XML parser (MSXML) version 4. MSXML is bundled with Internet Explorer 6.0.
To verify that you have the correct MSXML, check that the following file exists:
c:\winnt\system32\msxml4.dll
If this file is missing, install Internet Explorer 6.0 or later.
Overview of User Management Console
User Management Console comprises an Object Palette and task tabs. When you log in for the
first time, the User Management Console displays the Object Palette and a Browse tab.
The Object Palette is a navigation frame where you can choose objects (such as, user directories,
users, groups, projects, and applications). Typically, the details of your current selection in the
Object Palette are displayed in the Browse tab. Additional task tabs open as needed depending
on the task that you perform; for example, a Report tab when you generate a report, or a
Configure tab when you configure a user directory.
Depending on the current configuration, User Management Console lists your existing objects
—user directories, projects, and unassigned applications—on the Object Palette. You can
expand these object listings to view details. For example, you may expand the User Directories
object to view a list of all currently configured user directories. You may also search configured
user directories for users and groups.
A context-sensitive menu, accessible by right-clicking an object, is associated with some objects
on the Object Palette.
Navigating in User Management Console
When performing actions on objects in the Object Palette, you can right-click an object to access
a context-sensitive menu. These menu options change dynamically, depending on what you
select. The commands displayed on the right-click menu are also available on a menu from the
menu bar. Buttons representing currently enabled menu options are displayed on the toolbar.
Note:
Because Native Directory is administered from User Management Console, some menu options
available in the context-sensitive menu for Native Directory are not available for other user
directories.
Searching for Users, Groups, Roles, and Delegated Lists
User Management Console enables searching for users and groups from configured user
directories and for application roles registered with Native Directory.
