Set up ServerView Operations Manager and the Directory Service Environment.
For details on how to set up the environment, refer to the manual of the relevant product.
Coordination of User Operations on Resource Orchestrator and Directory Service
Whether user operations performed from Resource Orchestrator are reflected on the directory service or not is determined by the settings in the directory service operation definition file (ldap_attr.rcxprop).
For details, refer to "6.6.1 Settings for Tenant Management and Account Management" in the "Operation Guide CE". By default, the operation content is reflected on the directory service.
User information of Resource Orchestrator is created in the following location.
When Using Active Directory
cn=Users,Base_DN
When Using OpenDS/OpenLDAP
cn=Users,Base_DN
When using a user account of the existing directory service as the user of Resource Orchestrator, edit the directory service operation definition file so that the operation content will not be reflected.
Note
If the directory service operation file defines the setting which reflects the operation content, when the user is deleted from Resource Orchestrator, corresponding user account of the directory service is deleted as well. Be careful when using an existing directory service for user management on the other system.
When Using the User already Registered with Active Directory as the User of Resource Orchestrator
When performing Single Sign-On using Active Directory and when using a user already registered to Active Directory as the user of Resource Orchestrator, it is possible to change the User Search Area from the Default location. To change the User Search Area from the Default, it is necessary to change "User Search Base" in "Directory Service Configurations" which was specified when installing ServerView Operations Manager.
For details on "User Search Base" in "Directory Service Configurations", refer to the following manual.
"Menu-Driven Installation of the Operations Manager Software" in the "ServerView Suite ServerView Operations Manager Installation Guide"
The information specified for "User Search Base" is stated in the file explained in the following manual. For details on how to change the user search base, refer to the following manual.
"Configuring directory service access" in "ServerView Suite User Management in ServerView"
When Installing ServerView Operations Manager Again
When using the OpenDS bundled with ServerView Operations Manager, back up the user information before uninstalling ServerView Operations Manager, if it becomes necessary to install ServerView Operations Manager again.
Restore the user information in OpenDS, after installing ServerView Operations Manager again.
For details on the backup and restore of OpenDS, refer to the ServerView Operations Manager manual.
