Enabling Additional Identity Systems

To add additional identity systems:

1. Select Identity Systems in the Configuration menu.

2. Click Add.

   

   Default Server Address: Specify the IP address of a server in the eDirectory tree.

   Username: Use typeless FDN format naming to specify an administrator name.

   Password: Specify the administrator password.

   Tree Name: Specify the name of the eDirectory tree.

   Proxy Object FDN: Use typeless FDN format naming to specify a name for the proxy object that you are creating.

   For example, srsoesproxy.system

   Assign Supervisor rights to [Root] for Proxy Account: Leaving this check box selected enables File Reporter OES to scan all volumes in the directory tree.

   If you deselect this option, the File Reporter OES proxy account must be assigned Supervisor permissions to the servers with network storage to be scanned as well as read permissions to all objects in the eDirectory tree.

   IMPORTANT: When this option is deselected, storage resources may not build properly. We recommend that this option remain selected.

3. Complete the fields and click OK.

4. (Optional) Repeat these steps to add additional eDirectory identity systems.
