Overview of Setup and Import

LDAP Quickstart Manager simplifies maintenance of DNs and other user information. The following is a brief overview of setting up and importing users into LDAP Quickstart Manager. More details can be found elsewhere in this guide.

We recommend that you try importing users on a test server before importing users on a production server to make sure that you are importing users correctly.

Note: If you do not have the appropriate access rights on the servers that you want to access, you cannot import users with LDAP Quickstart Manager.

For Caliber Servers, the user must be a Caliber Administrator. For StarTeam Server, the user must have the server-level access right named Administer User Accounts. By default all members of the Administrators group have this and many other rights.

Configure one or more directory services and/or LDIF files. They appear in the Sources pane, on the left. One of the required properties for each configured directory service or LDIF file is the name of the mapping to be used. You can start with one of the mappings that ship with the product: Test Mapping, Microsoft Active Directory, or OpenLDAP. Your directory service or LDIF file appears in the left pane as the root of a tree of nodes. Among these nodes you will find users and groups.
Configure one or more servers, which appear in the Targets pane, on the right. Your server appears in the right pane as the root of a tree of nodes. Among these nodes you will find users and groups.
Select users, groups, or the entire directory service/LDIF file to be imported from the left pane.
Select a server or group from the right pane to receive the users and groups.
Click the Import Selected Users button. There is no Undo command. If you need to delete users or groups that have been added accidentally, you must do so from the StarTeam Server Administration tool (using User Manager) or from the Caliber Administrator. Be aware that users who are deleted and re-added to a StarTeam Server will have two internal user IDs and might have records for both. You cannot use LDAP Quickstart Manager to delete users, but you can select users in the right pane and suspend them. For Caliber, this is equivalent to making their accounts disabled. As mentioned, it is best to do a trial import on a test server before importing users on a production server.
