Authorization Preference list:
• Local Database
Use the LDAP server for authentication and the Management application local
database for authorization.
The user name in the local database must match the LDAP user name (password
does not need to match) and must have the appropriate roles and AORs. If the
Management application user name and LDAP user name do not match, create the
user and assign the respective roles and AORs (refer to “User Account Management”
on page 181).
• Primary Authentication Server
Use the LDAP server for authentication and authorization.
In the LDAP server, create new custom attributes (NmRoles & NmAors) in the AD
server and assign the appropriate Roles and AORs (refer to “Configuring roles and
AORs on the external LDAP server” on page 204).
If this user already exists in the local database, the roles and AORs are overwritten
with the new roles and AORs configured in the LDAP Server.
• LDAP Authorization
Use to assign roles and AORs to user groups and not to individual users.
When roles and AORs are assigned to a group, all AD users in the group can obtain the
roles and AORS assigned to the group. To assign roles and AORs to an AD Group, refer
“Assigning roles and AORs to an AD group” on page 201.
You do not need to create users in the local database.
