2.5 Managing Multiple eDirectory Trees

iManager provides an easy way to manage multiple eDirectory trees from a single interface. You can login to the tree that you want to connect to and also switch among the trees that you are currently logged into. After connecting to a tree, iManager provides the tree-specific content, such as tree administration and tasks, and allows you to configure the required options. It relies on the default settings for the other configuration options. You can log in to upto 20 eDirectory trees at the same time.

To manage multiple eDirectory connections:

  1. Launch iManager.

  2. Log in to an eDirectory tree as an administrator with the appropriate rights.

    After a successful login, iManager displays the Manage Connections icon in the right corner of the iManager header.

  3. Click the Manage Connections icon.

    iManager displays a list of currently logged-in trees under Manage Connections. You can also sign into another eDirectory tree from the Manage Connections page.

  4. To switch to a different tree, click on the respective tree from the list.

  5. To Login to a different tree, click Sign in to another directory tree option and provide the username, password and the tree name or IP and click Sign in.

    The iManager home page displays. To verify whether the page displays correct information for this tree, look at the top right side of the page. You will see the user name that you used to log in to this tree and name of the logged in tree.

  6. Repeat Step 3 through Step 5 for every tree for which you want to manage connection.

  7. To logout from the individual logged in trees, click on the logout icon displayed next to the respective trees listed under the Manage Connections.
