New classes in the schema include an Association, a Product, and a Privilege class. An association object links the user or group to a given set of privileges and to systems (Product Objects) in the network.
  • Page 70 In addition, you can set up Active Directory objects in a single domain or in multiple domains. Setting up objects in a single domain does not vary, whether you are setting up RAC, or Server Administrator objects. When multiple domains are involved, however, there are some differences.

    Figure 2. Setting Up RAC Active Directory Objects in a Single Domain Setting Up Objects In A Single Domain To set up the objects in a single domain scenario, perform the following tasks: Create two Association Objects. Create two RAC Product Objects, RAC1 and RAC2, to represent the two DRAC 4 cards. Create two Privilege Objects, Priv1 and Priv2, in which Priv1 has all privileges (administrator) and Priv2 has login privileges.
