Configuring user directory server settings

Administrator Help | TRITON AP-DATA | Version 8.3.x

In the TRITON Manager, define the LDAP user directory to use when adding and authenticating TRITON administrators with network accounts. (Select TRITON Settings from the TRITON toolbar, then select User Directories.)

On the Data tab, you define the user directory to use for TRITON AP-DATA users and other policy resources, such as devices and networks.

Select Settings > General > User Directories.

Click New in the toolbar.

In the Add User Directory Server screen, complete the following fields:

Field

Description

Name

Enter a name for the user directory server.

Type

Select the type of directory from the drop-down menu: Active Directory, Domino, or CSV file.

Connection Settings

IP address or hostname

Enter the IP address or hostname of the user directory server.

Port

Enter the port number of the user directory server.

User distinguished name

Enter a user name that has access to the directory server.

Password

Enter the password for this user name.

Root naming context

Optionally, enter the root naming context that TRITON AP-DATA should use to search for user information. If you supply a value, it must be a valid context in your domain. If the Root naming context field is left blank, the system begins searching at the top level of the directory service.

Use SSL encryption

Select this box if you want to connect to the directory server using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption.

Follow referrals

Select Follow referrals if you want TRITON AP-DATA to follow server referrals should they exist. A server referral is when one server refers to another for programs or data.

Test Connection

Click this button to test your connection to the user-directory server.

Directory usage

Get user attributes

Select this box if you want to retrieve user attributes from the directory server.

Attributes to retrieve

Enter the user attributes that you want the TRITON Manager to collect for all users (comma separated).

Photo attributes to retrieve

Enter the valid photo attributes, thumbnailPhoto (default), to display a photo of the user (comma separated).

If you do not want to display a photo of the user, leave this field blank.

If a photo does not exist for the user, an empty image displays.

Sample email address

Enter a valid email address with which you can perform a test.

Test Attributes

Click Test Attributes to retrieve user information, such as the user's attributes and email address you supplied.

View Results

Click View Results to check the user information that was imported. View Results retrieves and displays the data entered in the Attributes to retrieve, Photo attributes to retrieve, and Sample email address fields.

Click OK to save your changes.


	Note If you select CSV as the file type in the Add User Directory Server, you won't see the IP address, port, and SSL fields. You need to supply the full path for the CSV files, along with a user name and password. The Test Connection functionality is the same. There are no Directory usage fields associated with CSV files.
