Connecting to exacqVision Servers
You can connect to your Enterprise exacqVision servers from the Linux exacqVision Client software in any of the following ways:

You can use a local exacqVision username and password.

If you have already executed the kinit command to log in to the domain, you can use your system login without entering
a username or password. In this case, leave the username and password fields empty on the Add Systems page, select
Use Single Sign-On, and click Apply.

If using the Linux version of the exacqVision Client, you can use any domain user account. Use the kinit command to log
in to the domain. Enter the account name in user@REALM format as the username (for example,
"[email protected]"). You do not need to enter a password in the exacqVision Client. The realm must be in
upper case, as shown in the example. Do NOT select Use Single Sign-On with this login method.
NOTE: If you attempt to connect to an exacqVision server using your system login without first executing kinit, the connection will
fail.

Adding exacqVision Users from the OpenLDAP/Kerberos Database
When the exacqVision server is appropriately configured and connected to your OpenLDAP/Kerberos server, the Users page and the
Enterprise User Setup page each contain a Query LDAP button that allows you to search for users or user groups configured in
OpenLDAP/Kerberos. You can manage their exacqVision server permissions and privileges using the exacqVision Client the same way
you would for a local user. On the System Information page, the Username column lists any connected OpenLDAP/Kerberos users
along with their OpenLDAP/Kerberos origin (whether each user was mapped as an individual or part of a user group) in parentheses.
