Using Active Roles policies

The examples in this section demonstrate how to configure provisioning policies, and allow you to see how provisioning policy enforcement works in Active Roles.

NOTE: The instructions in this section assume that you are logged on as an Active Roles Admin. The Active Roles Admin account is specified when installing the Administration Service, and defaults to the Administrators local group of the computer running the Administration Service.

Enforce user naming conventions

This section describes how to enforce the following user naming conventions:

  • Full name must be ABC, where

    A consists of max 5 first characters of Last name; in case of long Last name, A consists of only the first 5 characters

    B consists of min 2 characters: numbering beginning with 00; in case of short Last name, filling characters are added: 000, 0000, so that AB consists of exactly 7 characters

    C consists of one first character of First name

    Example: ivano00a (ivano = 5 characters of Last name Ivanov; 00 = numbering; a = the first character of First name Andre)

  • User logon name must be the same as Full name
  • User logon name (pre-Windows 2000) must be the same as Full name

To enforce these naming conventions, you need to create and apply an Active Roles Policy Object.

Create and apply the Policy Object

Perform the following steps to create and apply the Policy Object using the Active Roles console. First, you create the Policy Object, configure policy for the Full name property, and apply the Policy Object to your test domain. Next, you modify the Policy Object to add the policy for the User logon name and User logon name (pre-Windows 2000) properties.
