3.3 Connecting to User Sources

In addition to assigning content to devices, you can assign it to users. Unlike device-assigned
content, user-assigned content is available on a device only when the user is logged in to the
Management Zone.
To be able to assign content to users, you can create a read-only connection to an LDAP directory
that contains the users. This creates user object references in the ZENworks database, which exposes
the users in ZENworks Control Center and enables you to make the assignments. Your LDAP
directory is not affected; ZENworks requires only read access to the LDAP directory and stores all
assignment information in the ZENworks database. For more detailed information about the specific
read rights required when connecting to a user source, see the
Management System Administration
You can connect to Novell eDirectory
minimum requirements are Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 and Microsoft Active Directory on Windows
2000 SP4. The minimum LDAP requirement is version 3.
After you connect to an LDAP directory, you define the containers within the directory that you
want exposed. For example, assume you have a Microsoft Active Directory domain tree named
MyCompany. All users reside in two containers in the MyCompany tree: MyCompany/Users and
MyCompany/Temp/Users. You could reference the MyCompany tree as the source and the
MyCompany/Users and MyCompany/Temp/Users as separate user containers. This limits access
within the directory to only those containers that include users.
In addition to the users that reside within the containers you add, ZENworks Control Center also
displays any user groups located in the containers. This enables management of both individual user
and groups of users
To connect to a user source:
