POSIX HP-UX Profile: General Information

The HP-UX service instance uses an agentless adapter based on IBM® Security Directory Integrator assembly lines. Complete the following fields to connect to the server where the service resides:

Service name

Specify a name that helps you identify the service instance. For example, you might include the host name of the computer on which the HP-UX service instance runs.

Description

Specify additional information about the HP-UX service instance.

Connection mode

This option is available only if the erconnectionmode attribute has been added to the service form. Specify whether to have the managed resource process account requests or to have the service act as a manual service.

Automated

Specifies to route account requests to a service provider. This selection is the default setting.

Manual

Specifies to route account requests to a specific user. Selecting Manual enables the Participants page, the Messages page, and a different Reconciliation page in the navigation area.

Tivoli Directory Integrator location

Optional: Specify the URL for the Security Directory Integrator instance. Valid syntax is rmi://ip-address:port/ITDIDispatcher, where ip-address is the Security Directory Integrator host, and port is the port number for the RMI Dispatcher. For example, you might specify the URL as rmi://localhost:16231/ITDIDispatcher. Specify the value of localhost in the etc/hosts file.

Managed resource location

Specify the host name or IP address for the HP-UX resource. For IPv6 addresses, enter the address value in brackets. An example of a URL using IPv6 would be http://[address]:port number

Use a shadow file?

Select this check box to use an access-restricted ASCII system file that stores users' encrypted passwords and related information. This field is unique to the UNIX service types.

Delete home directory when the account is deleted?

Select this check box to delete the home directory of the user on the HP-UX server when the account is deleted.

Owner

Specify the existing user ID of the service owner that administers the HP-UX service instance.

Click Search to specify the name of the user who owns the service.

If a name exists in this field, click Clear to specify to use any user in administering the service instance.

Service prerequisite

Click Search to specify an existing service instance or function that the HP-UX service instance requires.

Click Clear to remove the currently specified service.

If a service has another service defined as a service prerequisite, a user must have an existing account on the service prerequisite. Otherwise the user cannot receive a new account.

Click Test Connection to test the connection to the service.
