Connecting to an EIM domain

Before you can work with an Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) domain, you must first connect to the EIM domain controller for the domain. You may connect to an EIM domain even if your IBM® i model is not currently configured to participate in this domain.

To connect to the EIM domain controller, the user with which you connect must be a member of an EIM access control group. Your EIM access control group membership determines what tasks you can perform in the domain and what EIM data you can view or change.

To connect to an EIM domain, complete the following steps:

  1. From IBM Navigator for i, expand Security > Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM).
  2. Click Domain Management.
    • If you are not currently connected to the EIM domain controller, a Connect to EIM Domain Controller dialog box is displayed. Enter the User type and provide the required identification information for the user.
    • If you want to reconnect, click the Actions menu and select Reconnect. A Connect to EIM Domain Controller dialog box is displayed. Enter the User type and provide the required identification information for the user.
  3. Click OK to connect to the domain controller.
