Walkthrough: Creating A User Account; Opening The Users Monitor - Novell PLATESPIN ORCHESTRATE 2.0.2 - INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION GUIDE 10-09-2009 Installation And Configuration Manual

When the job is available, you need to create a user who can run that job. For more information, see
Section 3.6, "Walkthrough: Creating a User Account," on page 113

3.6 Walkthrough: Creating a User Account

Although PlateSpin Orchestrate has some pre-assembled jobs, such as the
that you learned about earlier, most jobs must be developed by a job developer, then be run and
managed by a user (also called a job manager). Without an authorized individual who can log in to
the PlateSpin Orchestrate system to manage the use of a job, the product does not realize its
potential.
This section of the walkthrough introduces the basics of creating a user account:
Section 3.6.1, "Opening the Users Monitor," on page 113
Section 3.6.2, "Automatically Registering a User," on page 114
Section 3.6.3, "Manually Registering a User," on page 115
Section 3.6.4, "Logging In a User for Manual Registration," on page 116

3.6.1 Opening the Users Monitor

Now that the Orchestrate Server has run discovery jobs and you have deployed a sample job, you
can begin to create user accounts. To do so, open the Orchestrate Development Client and click
Users in the toolbar to open the Users Monitor in the Workspace panel of the Development Client.
Users Monitor of the PlateSpin Orchestrate Development Client
Figure 3-4
In this monitor, you can see the users that are connected to the server and what they are doing in the
grid.
If a user logs in but has not been registered (that is, no account is created for that user), the
authentication to the server is retried every 90 seconds. If this is the case, the User Registration icon
has a "flag up" status, meaning that a user is waiting to register. If the icon has a "flag down"
status, either no user accounts have been created or all active users are logged in, so none are waiting
to register.
