2.1 Configuring Administration Console

2.1.1 Creating Multiple Administrator Accounts

Administration Console is installed with one administrator user account. We recommend you to have more than one administrator account. In case a user forgets the password, you have other administrator user accounts to access Administration Console and to reset the password. If you have multiple administrators, you might want to create a user account for each one so that log files reflect the modifications of each administrator. The easiest way to do this is to create a new user as a trustee of the tree root with [Entry Rights] for Supervisor and inheritable rights assignment. This also ensures that you have more than one user who has full access to Administration Console.

For more information, see Creating Multiple Admin Accounts in the NetIQ Access Manager 4.3 Administration Guide.

2.1.2 Installing Secondary Versions of Administration Console

You can create fault tolerance by installing up to two secondary consoles. NetIQ recommends that you install at least one secondary console.
