Using an external authorization server (authorization groups)
If you use an external authorization server, you can set permissions for P9000 Command View AE
Suite products per Windows Active Directory group (authorization group). You do not need to register
individual user accounts in P9000 Command View AE Suite products. Note, however, that if you
register a user account in P9000 Command View AE Suite products, the permissions assigned to the
user account, rather than those of the authorization group to which that user belongs, are applied
(even if linkage with an external authorization server is enabled).
User IDs to be authenticated per authorization group must consist of a character string that can be
used in P9000 Command View AE Suite products.
The following tasks are covered in this module:
• Linking to an external authorization server
• Registering an authorization group
• Setting permissions for an authorization group
• Deleting an authorization group
Linking to an external authorization server
To link to an external authorization server:
1. On the Replication Manager management server, specify settings for linking to an external
authorization server.
For details about requirements for an external authorization server and how to specify settings
for linking to the server, see the HP P9000 Replication Manager Configuration Guide.
2. In the Add Groups -
domain-name
dialog box, register the authorization group that will use the
P9000 Command View AE Suite products.
