Deleting A Directory Service Connection; Managing Directory Services Attributes - Novell ADMINSTUDIO 9.5 User Manual

Deleting a Directory Service Connection

You can import a user/group into an AdminStudio Enterprise Server database using a Directory Service
Connection. This will create a reference to this Directory Service Connection in the database. You can then import
a Directory Service Attribute into the database.
In order to delete this Directory Service, user has to delete all the references to this Directory Service Connection. If
there are references left (like users from this directory service or attributes from this directory service) you cannot
delete this Directory Service Connection.

Managing Directory Services Attributes

When creating a Workflow Manager Template, you can assign a Data Element the Data Type of Directory
Service. This means that when a Directory Service authenticated user performs the Workflow Step that requests
that Data Element, information is pulled from the Directory Service to automatically populate the field, such as that
user's name, email address, location, etc.

Note • If the user is not connected using Directory Service authentication, then the fields will be left blank and
enabled.
On the Directory Services Attributes Administration
Services Attributes on the Directory Services page, Administrators can map their customizations for the
directory service.
