CloudAccess supports the use of one or more identity sources to authenticate users and as a source for provisioning accounts to the SaaS applications. The initialization process configures the first identity source and adds the identity source to the Admin page.
CloudAccess currently supports two different types of identity sources: Active Directory and eDirectory. You can have one or more of each type of identity source configured in your appliance.
To change the initial identity source configuration information, on the Admin page, click the identity source, then click Configure.
NOTE:
Although CloudAccess allows you to modify an existing eDirectory or Active Directory connector to point to a different tree, NetIQ does not recommend this approach because it can result in inconsistent display of user and group data. If you want to point a connector to a different tree, delete the existing connector and create a new connector that points to the correct tree.
CloudAccess does not prevent you from configuring multiple eDirectory or Active Directory connectors that point to the same identity source. However, in order for the appliance to behave as expected and present accurate data, each identity source connector must point to a unique identity source.
To add another identity source:
Navigate to the CloudAccess Admin page.
For more information, see Section 3.1, Accessing the Administration Pages.
Click the Admin icon on the toolbar.
Drag and drop an identity source icon from the Identity Palette to the bar in the middle of the page.
Click the identity source icon, then click Configure.
Fill in the fields to configure the new identity source, then click OK to save the configuration information.
Click Apply to commit the changes to the appliance.
