Working with Micro Focus NetIQ Directory

This section describes how to create or modify a connection to Micro Focus NetIQ Directory (formerly known as Novell eDirectory) so that Synchronization Service could work with Micro Focus NetIQ Directory data in that data system.

To create a connection to Micro Focus NetIQ Directory, use the Micro Focus NetIQ Directory Connector, included by default in Active Roles Synchronization Service.

The Micro Focus NetIQ Directory Connector supports the following features:

Table 42: Micro Focus NetIQ Directory Connector – Supported features

Feature

Supported

Bidirectional synchronization

Specifies whether you can both read and write data in the connected data system.

Yes

Delta processing mode

Specifies whether the connection can process only the data that has changed in the connected data system since the last synchronization operation. This reduces the overall synchronization duration.

No

Password synchronization

Specifies whether you can synchronize user passwords from an Active Directory (AD) domain to the connected data system.

Yes

Creating a Micro Focus NetIQ Directory connection

You can create a new Micro Focus NetIQ Directory connection in the Synchronization Service Console.

To create a new connection

  1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Connections tab.
  2. Click Add connection, then use the following options:
    • Connection name: Type a descriptive name for the connection.

    • Use the specified connector: Select Micro Focus NetIQ Directory Connector.

  3. Click Next.

  4. On the Specify connection settings page, use the following options:

    • Server: Type the fully qualified domain name of the Micro Focus NetIQ Directory server to which you want to connect.

    • Port: Type the number of the communication port used by the Micro Focus NetIQ Directory server.

    • Access Micro Focus NetIQ Directory Service using: Type the user name and password with which you want to access Micro Focus NetIQ Directory. Ensure the account has sufficient permissions to perform operations (read, write) on objects in Micro Focus NetIQ Directory.

    • Advanced: Click this button to specify a number of advanced options to access Micro Focus NetIQ Directory. For example, you can select an authentication method, configure TLS/SSL usage for the connection, and select whether or not you want to use paged search.

      From this Authentication method list, select one of the following methods:

      • Anonymous: Allows you to establish the connection without passing credentials.

      • Basic: Specifies to use basic authentication.

      • Microsoft Negotiate: Specifies to use Microsoft Negotiate authentication.

      • NTLM: Specifies to use Windows NT Challenge/Response authentication.

      • Digest: Specifies to use Digest Access authentication.

      • Sicily: Employs a negotiation mechanism (Sicily) to choose the Microsoft Network Authentication Service, Distributed Password Authentication, or NTLM method.

      • Distributed Password Authentication: Specifies to use DPA authentication.

      • Microsoft Network Authentication Service: Specifies to authenticate with Microsoft Network Authentication Service.

      • External: Specifies to use an external authentication method for the connection.

      • Kerberos: Specifies to use Kerberos authentication.

      You can also use the following check boxes:

      • Use TLS/SSL: Allows you to use the TLS (SSL) encryption to establish and maintain the connection.

      • Switch to TLS/SSL after establishing connection: Establishes the connection without using the TLS (SSL) encryption. Then, after the connection has been established, enables the TLS (SSL) encryption.

      • Verify TLS/SSL certificate: Specifies whether or not to check the TLS (SSL) certificate on the server.

      • Use paged search: Specifies whether or not to use paged search for the connection. When selecting this check box, you can set a page size limit in the text box below.

    • To test the connection with the new parameters, click Test connection.

  5. To complete creating the Micro Focus NetIQ Directory connection, click Finish.

Modifying an existing Micro Focus NetIQ Directory connection

You can modify the various settings for an existing connection to Micro Focus NetIQ Directory, such as the Micro Focus NetIQ Directory server to connect to, communication port, access credentials, and the attributes used for naming objects in Micro Focus NetIQ Directory.

Every object in Micro Focus NetIQ Directory has a naming attribute from which the object name is formed. When you create a connection to the directory, a default naming attribute is selected for each object type in that data system. You can use the Specify Naming Attributes item to view the naming attribute currently selected for each object type in Micro Focus NetIQ Directory and optionally specify a different naming attribute.

To modify connection settings

  1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Connections tab.

  2. Click Connection settings below the existing Micro Focus NetIQ Directory connection you want to modify.

  3. On the Connection Settings tab, click an appropriate item to expand it and use the options it provides.

    You can expand the following items:

  4. Click Save.

Specifying connection settings for a Micro Focus NetIQ Directory connection

The Specify connection settings option provides the following options that allow you to modify the connection settings:

  • Server: Type the fully qualified domain name of the Micro Focus NetIQ Directory server to which you want to connect.

  • Port: Type the number of the communication port used by the Micro Focus NetIQ Directory server.

  • Access Micro Focus NetIQ Directory Service using: Type the user name and password with which you want to access Micro Focus NetIQ Directory. Ensure the account has sufficient permissions to perform operations (read, write) on objects in Micro Focus NetIQ Directory.

  • Advanced: Click this button to specify a number of advanced options to access Micro Focus NetIQ Directory. For example, you can select an authentication method, configure TLS/SSL usage for the connection, and select whether or not you want to use paged search.
