About Native Directory
Shared Services uses Native Directory to store user provisioning data and a relational database
to store product registration data.
After the initial logon to a Hyperion product, the product directly queries Native Directory for
user provisioning information. Hyperion products can function normally only if Native
Directory is running.
User Management Console displays a list of users and groups for each configured user directory,
including Native Directory. These lists are used to provision users and groups against application
roles.
User Management Console is the central administration point for Native Directory, the default
user directory that is installed with Shared Services. Other user directories are administered
through their own administration screens.
Installation Location
By default, Native Directory is installed to <Hyperion_Home>/SharedServices/
<HSS_version>
/openLDAP.
Examples:
● C:\Hyperion\SharedServices\9.3.1\openLDAP (Windows)
