IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Define a test userid using portal server user administration
- Log into a Tivoli Enterprise Portal client using userid sysadmin. Note that sysadmin is still defined as a local portal server ID (in other words, it is not stored within or retrieved from your LDAP user registry).
- Use Tivoli Enterprise Portal user administration (as explained in LDAP user authentication through the portal server), create a new user with any userid you wish.
- In the Distinguished Name field, enter enough of that person's email address to make your specification unique; then click the Find button.
The LDAP search is performed, and the full LDAP Distinguished Name is found for that email address.
- Highlight that Distinguished Name, and click OK.
- Complete that user's remaining userid fields, and then click OK to add it.
That person can now log into the Tivoli Enterprise Portal client using his or her email address, longemailaddress@customer.com, as the userid and his/her Active Directory password for the password. The user will be logged into his/her default primary workspace.
