Displaying the Unix hosts overview

Use this task to obtain an overview of the most important information about a host.

To obtain an overview of a host

In the Manager, select the Unix > Hosts category.
Select the host in the result list.
Select Unix host overview.

Displaying Unix login shells

This information about a host's login shells is loaded into One Identity Manager and cannot be edited. You can use login shells when setting up user accounts.

To display login shells

Unix user accounts

You can use One Identity Manager to manage your local Unix-based target system user accounts. User accounts obtain the required access permissions to the resources through membership in groups.

Creating and editing Unix user accounts

A user account can be linked to an employee in One Identity Manager. You can also manage user accounts separately from employees.

NOTE: It is recommended to use account definitions to set up user accounts for company employees. In this case, some of the main data described in the following is mapped through templates from employee main data.

NOTE: If employees are to obtain their user accounts through account definitions, the employees must own a central user account and obtain their IT operating data through assignment to a primary department, a primary location, or a primary cost center.

To create a user account

In the Manager, select the Unix > User accounts category.
Click in the result list.
On the main data form, edit the main data of the user account.
Save the changes.

To edit main data of a user account

In the Manager, select the Unix > User accounts category.
Select the user account in the result list.
Select the Change main data task.
Edit the user account's resource data.
Save the changes.

To manually assign a user account for an employee

In the Manager, select the Employees > Employees category.
Select the employee in the result list.
Select the Assign Unix user accounts task.
