View or edit user profiles

View or edit user profiles

You can view general information about your user profile, and edit some settings, when needed.

The User Profile dialog box allows every user to quickly change their password, review the devices and assets assigned to them, and any Service Desk Tickets that they created. Users with administrative-level permissions can also edit some additional parameters, such as their name, email, manager, and locale. They can also quickly go to the User Detail page to review additional information about their account, and to make any changes, as needed.

For more information about editing user accounts using the User Detail page, see the following topics:

Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin, where appliance_hostname is the host name of your appliance. Or, if Show organization menu in admin header is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
Log in to the appliance System Administration Console, https://appliance_hostname/system, where appliance_hostname is the host name of your appliance, or select System from the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page.
Log in to the applianceUser Console, https://appliance_hostname/user, where appliance_hostname is the host name of your appliance, or select User Console from the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page.
The User Profile dialog box appears.

Using an LDAP server for user authentication

Using an LDAP server for user authentication

User authentication can be done locally, using accounts created on the appliance, or externally, using an LDAP server.

If you use external LDAP server authentication, the appliance accesses a directory service to authenticate users. This allows users to log in to the appliance Administrator Console, User Console, or System Administration Console using their domain username and password.

For information about adding user accounts to the appliance for local user authentication, see:

About the login account on your LDAP server

About the login account on your LDAP server

To set up LDAP user authentication, you need to create a login account for the appliance on your LDAP server. The appliance uses this account to read and import user information from the LDAP server.

The account needs read-only access to the Search Base DN field on the LDAP server. The account does not need write access, because the appliance does not write to the LDAP server.

In addition, the account must have a password that never expires. Because the password never expires, make sure it is very secure. The user can change the password (that complies with the appropriate security requirements), however, the password must be updated on the appliance. You can give the account a username, such as KACE_Login, or you can attempt to connect to the LDAP server using an anonymous bind.

Configure and test LDAP user authentication

Configure and test LDAP user authentication

You can configure and test connections from the appliance to an external LDAP server.

Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if Show organization menu in admin header is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
Log in to the appliance System Administration Console, https://appliance_hostname/system, or select System from the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page.
The Dashboard or System Dashboard page appears.
2.
Go to the Admin-level or System-Level Authentication Settings page:
a.
On the left navigation bar, click Settings, then click Control Panel.
b.
On the Control Panel, click User Authentication (Administrator Console only), or System User Authentication (System Administration Console only).
4.
Select the LDAP Authentication option:

Option

Description

Local Authentication

Enable local authentication (the default). If local authentication is enabled, the password is authenticated against the existing entries in the local database at Settings > Users.

LDAP Authentication

Enable external user authentication using an LDAP server or Active Directory server.

If LDAP Authentication is enabled, the password is authenticated against the external LDAP server.

For assistance with authentication, contact Quest Support at https://support.quest.com/contact-support.

Button

Action

Schedule a user import for the server.

Modify the server definition. For information about the fields in this section, see Table 5.

Remove the server.

Change the order of the server in the list of servers.

6.
Optional: Click New to add an LDAP server. You can have more than one LDAP server configured.

Table 5. Server information

Option

Description

Name

The name you want to use to identify the server.

Host Name or IP Address

The IP address or the hostname of the LDAP server. If the IP address is not valid, the appliance waits to timeout, resulting in login delays during LDAP authentication.

Port

The LDAP port number, which is usually 389 (LDAP) or 636 (secure LDAP).

Base DN

The criteria used to search for accounts.

This criteria specifies a location or container in the LDAP or Active Directory structure, and the criteria should include all the users that you want to authenticate. Enter the most specific combination of OUs, DCs, or CNs that match your criteria, ranging from left (most specific) to right (most general). For example, this path leads to the container with users that you need to authenticate:

OU=end_users,DC=company,DC=com.

NOTE: Domain Users is a special group that is not added to the memberof attribute values. For Domain Users members, use this format: (primaryGroupId=513).

Advanced Search

The search filter. For example:

(&(sAMAccountName=KBOX_USERNAME)(memberOf=CN=financial,DC=example,DC=com))

Login

The credentials of the account the appliance uses to log in to the LDAP server to read accounts. For example:

LDAP Login:CN=service_account,CN=Users,

DC=company,DC=com.

If user name and password are not provided, the tree lookup is not performed.

Each LDAP Label can connect to a different LDAP or Active Directory server.

Password

The password of the account the appliance uses to log in to the LDAP server.

Role

(Required) The user’s role:

Global Administrator: The user can access the System Administration Console, and each organization’s Administrator Console as an administrator with full read/write permissions. They must first log in to the System Administration Console, and then log in to the applicable organization account using the drop-down list in the top-right corner.
Administrator: The user can log in to and access all features of the Administrator Console, User Console, or System Administration Console.
Read Only Administrator: The user can log in, but cannot modify any settings in the Administrator Console, User Console, or System Administration Console.
User Console Only: The user can log in only to the User Console . This role is only available in the Administrator Console.
No Access: The user cannot log in to the Administrator Console, System Administration Console or User Console. No Access is the default role.
