Whenever you launch the Management Console, you must enter an authorized account to proceed. The Management Console for Unix features that are available depend on the account with which you log in.

To use the core version to manage local UNIX users and groups and to access the Management Console system settings, you must use the supervisor account (that is, you must log on with the supervisor user name). However, to use the Active Directory features of Management Console for Unix, you must log in with an Active Directory account that has been granted access to the Management Console, that is, defined during the post-installation configuration. For more details, see Setup Console Access by Role in the online help. For details on how to add additional accounts to this access list, see Add (or Remove) Role Members in the online help.

To log on to the Management Console

  1. Enter the user name and password and click Sign In.

    Enter:

    • The supervisor account name

    • A sAMAccountName, which uses the default domain

    • A User Principal Name in the format of username@domain

    The Management Console opens and displays the user name you specified in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.

  2. To log in using a different account, click the authenticated user's login name and click Sign Out. Then sign back on using a different account.

    The Log-on page redisplays, allowing you to enter a different account.
