12.2.7 Task 7: (Configuring for the external mode only) Test the NNMi user group configuration
-
Save NNMi's LDAP configuration file (nms-auth-config.xml).
-
Force NNMi to re-read the LDAP configuration file by executing the following command:
nnmldap.ovpl -reload
-
Sign in to the NNMi console with a user name and password that are defined in the directory service.
Run this test with a user name that is not already defined in the NNMi database and is a member of a directory service group that is mapped to the admin, level1, or level2 NNMi user group.
-
Verify the user name and NNMi role (as configured in the Display Name field in the User Groups view) in the title bar of the NNMi console.
-
If user sign-in works correctly, go to step 8.
-
If user sign-in does not work correctly, continue on to step 5.
After each test, sign out of the NNMi console to clear the session credentials.
-
-
Test the configuration for one user by running the following command:
nnmldap.ovpl -diagnose NNMi-user
Replace NNMi-user with the sign-in name of an NNMi user as defined in the directory service.
Examine the command output and respond appropriately. The following are suggestions:
-
Verify that you completed correctly 12.2.5 Task 5: (Configuring for the external mode only) Configure group retrieval from the directory service.
-
Verify for each predefined NNMi user group that you completed correctly 12.2.6 Task 6: (Configuring for the external mode only) Map the directory service groups to NNMi user groups.
-
Follow the detailed configuration process in 12.3.5 User group identification.
-
-
Repeat steps 1 through 4 until you see the expected result when signing in to the NNMi console.
