12.1.1 Internal mode: Storing all NNMi user information in the NNMi database
With configuration using the internal mode, NNMi accesses the NNMi database for all user access information, which the NNMi administrator defines and maintains in the NNMi console. The user access information is local to NNMi. NNMi does not access a directory service, and NNMi is not configured to retrieve information from the LDAP configuration file.
The figure below shows the information flow for this option, which is appropriate in the following situations:
-
The number of NNMi users is small.
-
No directory service is used.
For details about setting up all user information in the NNMi database, see NNMi Configuration Settings to Control NNMi Access in NNMi Help. You do not need to read the present chapter.
