Configuring Extended Schema Active Directory - Dell PowerEdge VRTX User Manual

Additionally, you can configure Active Directory objects in a single domain or in multiple domains. For example, you have
two CMCs (RAC1 and RAC2) and three existing Active Directory users (user1, user2, and user3). You want to give user1
and user2 an administrator privilege to both CMCs and give user3 a login privilege to the RAC2 card.
When adding Universal Groups from separate domains, create an Association Object with Universal Scope. The Default
Association objects created by the Dell Schema Extender Utility are Domain Local Groups and does not work with
Universal Groups from other domains.
To configure the objects for the single domain scenario:
1. Create two Association Objects.
2. Create two RAC Device Objects, RAC1 and RAC2, to represent the two CMCs.
3. Create two Privilege Objects, Priv1 and Priv2, in which Priv1 has all privileges (administrator) and Priv2 has login
privilege.
4. Group user1 and user2 into Group1.
5. Add Group1 as Members in Association Object 1 (A01), Priv1 as Privilege Objects in A01, and RAC1, RAC2 as RAC
Devices in A01.
6. Add User3 as Members in Association Object 2 (A02), Priv2 as Privilege Objects in A02, and RAC2 as RAC Devices
in A02.
To configure the objects for the multiple domain scenario:
1. Make that the domain forest function is in Native or Windows 2003 mode.
2. Create two Association Objects, A01 (of Universal scope) and A02, in any domain. The figure Setting Up Active
Directory Objects in Multiple Domains shows the objects in Domain2.
3. Create two RAC Device Objects, RAC1 and RAC2, to represent the two CMCs.
4. Create two Privilege Objects, Priv1 and Priv2, in which Priv1 has all privileges (administrator) and Priv2 has login
privilege.
5. Group user1 and user2 into Group1. The group scope of Group1 must be Universal.
6. Add Group1 as Members in Association Object 1 (A01), Priv1 as Privilege Objects in A01, and RAC1, RAC2 as RAC
Devices in A01.
7. Add User3 as Members in Association Object 2 (A02), Priv2 as Privilege Objects in A02, and RAC2 as RAC Devices
in A02.

Configuring Extended Schema Active Directory

To configure Active Directory to access CMC:
1. Extend the Active Directory schema.
2. Extend the Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-in.
3. Add CMC users and their privileges to Active Directory.
4. Enable SSL on each of your domain controllers.
5. Configure CMC Active Directory properties using CMC web interface or RACADM.
Extending Active Directory Schema
Extending your Active Directory schema adds a Dell organizational unit, schema classes and attributes, and example
privileges and association objects to the Active Directory schema. Before you extend the schema, make sure that you
have Schema Admin privileges on the Schema Master Flexible Single Master Operation (FSMO) Role Owner of the
domain forest.
You can extend your schema using one of the following methods:
