Use the Settings utility's Users/Groups tab to provide
the display name, domain name, LDAP path, and credentials to log on
to the Active Directory domain for which you are establishing a
connection for use with Asset Lifecycle Manager. You can then add
users and groups from your Active Directory sources.
To add users or groups
Click Tools > Settings and click the
Users/Groups tab.
Click Add.
In the Template dialog, click the source you
want to use and click OK.
Enter the information for the source you chose. For
Active Directory sources, click the Test button to make sure
the information you entered is valid.
Click OK.
The Active Directory settings dialog has the following
fields:
Display name: Use a name that will identify
this location. The name you provide will appear in list boxes in
the Design console, wherever you are asked to select users or
groups when assigning workflow participants (approvers, recipients,
requesters, etc.).
Domain: The Active Directory domain name.
LDAP Path: Specify the location for the users
and groups you are creating a connection to. For an Active
Directory domain, use LDAP:// and the name of the domain. For more
information, see http://community.landesk.com/support/docs/DOC-2813.
User name/Password: Include the domain name
and a backslash, followed by the logon ID for an authorized user
(domainname\username), and then enter and confirm the
password.
NOTE: If the password
for the authorized domain user is changed at some point, you will
need to remember to return to this setting and provide the new
password.
Advanced: The advanced domain settings are
additional (usually optional) Active Directory settings, and are
generally filled in automatically. If you are unsure of these
settings or need to make changes, contact the domain
administrator.
To enable the creation of an Exchange mailbox when using the
Create/Delete user action in the Active Directory action
group in the Design console, you need to provide the appropriate
values in the msExchHomeServerName attribute and homeMDB
attribute fields. See the LANDesk Asset Lifecycle Manager
release notes for instructions on determining these
values.
