Follow this task to configure supported
entity types for
user and group management.
About this task
You must configure
the supported entity types before you
can manage this account with Users and Groups in the administrative
console. The supported entity types are Group, OrgContainer, and PersonAccount.
A Group entity represents a simple collection of entities that might
not have any relational context. An OrgContainer entity represents
an organization, such as a company or an enterprise, a subsidiary,
or an organizational unit, such as a division, a location, or a department.
A PersonAccount entity represents a human being. You cannot add or
delete the supported entity types, because these types are predefined.
The
Base entry for the default parent determines the repository location
where entities of the specified type are placed on write operations
by user and group management.
Note: To manage users and groups, click Users
and Groups in the console navigation tree. Click either Manage
Users or Manage Groups.
Note: You
must restart the server or dmgr if the federated repository has changed
before using the Manage Users option. Otherwise, user or group changes
made to the repository could be lost after restart.
