12.2.6 Task 6: (Configuring for the external mode only) Map the directory service groups to NNMi user groups

1. In the NNMi console, map the predefined NNMi user groups to their counterparts in the directory service:

   1. Open the User Groups view.

      In the Configuration workspace, expand Security, and then click User Groups.

   2. Double-click the admin row.

   3. In the Directory Service Name field, enter the full distinguished name of the directory service group for NNMi administrators.

   4. Click Save and Close.

   5. Repeat steps b through d for each of the guest, level1, and level2 rows.

   These mappings provide NNMi console access. Every user who will access the NNMi console must be in a directory service group that is mapped to one of the predefined NNMi user groups named in this step.

2. For other groups containing one or more NNMi users in the directory service, create a new user group in the NNMi console.

   1. Open the User Groups view.

      In the Configuration workspace, expand Security, and then click User Groups.

   2. Click New, and then enter the information for the group:

      - Set Name to any unique value. Short names are recommended.

      - Set Display Name to the value users see.

      - Set Directory Service Name to the full distinguished name of the directory service group.

      - Set Description to text that describes the purpose of this NNMi user group.

   3. Click Save and Close.

   4. Repeat step b and step c for each additional directory service group of NNMi users.

   These mappings provide topology object access in the NNMi console. Each directory service group can be mapped to multiple NNMi user groups.
