User Guide

The user identifier must be expressed in the format <attribute>=<identifier>; for

example,

uid=jdoe.

Attributes of the user are displayed in the User Configuration area.

If you are configuring Oracle Internet Directory as a user directory, you cannot automatically

configure the filter because the root DSE of Oracle Internet Directory does not contain entries

in the Naming Contexts attribute. See Oracle documentation for detailed information.

Note:

You can manually enter required user attributes into text boxes in the User Configuration area.

Object Class Object classes of the user (the mandatory and optional attributes that can be associated with the

user). Shared Services uses the object classes listed in this screen in the search filter. Using these

object classes, Shared Services should find all users who should be provisioned.

You can manually add additional object classes if needed. To add an object class, type the object

class name into the Object class box and click Add.

Delete object classes by selecting the object class and clicking Remove.

Example:

person, organizationalPerson, inetorgperson

Note:

Data entry in the Group Configuration screen is optional. If you do not enter the group filter

settings, Shared Services searches the entire directory structure to locate groups. This process

can negatively affect performance, especially if the user directory contains many groups.
