User provisioning

Edit online

After configuring a Directory Server, you can integrate its users with License Metric Tool using the LDAP protocol. With user provisioning, you can integrate whole groups of users instead of linking each of them separately.

Before you begin

Configure a Directory Server.

Procedure

  1. Log in to License Metric Tool.
  2. In the top navigation bar, click Management > User Provisioning.
  3. Click New to create a new user provisioning rule.
  4. In Group Names, start typing the name of a group of users from your Directory Server and then choose one of the autofilled results.
  5. In Roles, select the roles that will be assigned to the new users.
  6. In Computer Group, select the computer group to which the new users will be assigned.
  7. Click Create.

Results

You integrated your Directory Server users with License Metric Tool. Each user is created in License Metric Tool after you log in to the application with that user. The user is assigned a role that is defined in user provisioning. However, the role can be changed later on.

Important: If you want to log in with Active Directory users, the user name must be followed by a domain name, for example username@domain.com.
