Configuring User Access

The process of configuring User access to network resources using IDM is simplified
through IDM’s ability to learn User information from the Active Directory or
RADIUS server, and the use of Access Policy Groups.

If Active Directory synchronization is enabled, IDM creates an Access Policy Group
for each Active Directory group selected in User Directory Settings preferences and
adds the users assigned to the Active Directory group to that Access Policy Group
in IDM. Users are assigned to Access Policy Groups based on the rules explained in
Using Active Directory Synchronization (see page 2-42).

If you do not use Active Directory synchronization, once you have configured the
Access Policy Groups, you simply assign users to an APG. The next time the user
attempts to log in to the network, IDM uses the rules in the user’s Access Policy
Group to dynamically configure the edge switch to provide the appropriate access to
the network.

Click the Users tab on the Access Policy Group or Domain window to display the
list of users. (See “Domain Users tab” on page

14.)

The Users list identifies every defined user and contains the following information
for each user:
