If the existing schema is not compatible, no schema is available or the schema cannot be
upgraded. If you overwrite the existing schema and data, a new schema is created.
If you do not overwrite the existing schema and data, the configuration application quits.
If you are upgrading the server from the previous release, the database schema is
upgraded automatically and you do not lose your previous data. The upgrade is
performed on the first start of the upgraded server, even if you do not rerun the setup
application.
If you make changes to the information on the Database tab, you must click Apply or
Cancel before you can navigate to another tab.
Creating Access Control
On the Access Control tab, you can create a local Administrator role and Help Desk
role or use Active Directory for authenticating users with these roles.
Before you can configure the ACE Management Server to use a domain account for
authentication, you must create users and groups so that ACE Management Server can
connect to the LDAP server. See "Create Users and Groups for Integration with Active
Directory" on page 38.
Use the following information to help you complete the fields for authentication:
Local account – If you specify a password for the Administrator role and forget or
lose it, you must delete the server configuration file. Deleting this file sets the
server back to its initial state. You must reconfigure the server and set the
administrator password again.
See "Delete the Server Configuration File and Set a New Administrator Password"
on page 71.
Domain account (LDAP) – To use Active Directory for authentication, specify the
host and credentials that the ACE Management Server uses to connect to and
query the domain controller:
Host Name – Enter a fully qualified domain name (for example,
ldap.vmware.com) instead of an IP address or host name with no parent
domain name (for example, ldap).
Query User sAMAcountName and Query User Password – Use the
password and short name for the user account you created for this purpose in
Active Directory.
