Editing the synchronization project for a Unix host

Synchronization projects in which a host is already used as a base object can also be opened in the Manager. You can, for example, check the configuration or view the synchronization log in this mode. The Synchronization Editor is not started with its full functionality. You cannot run certain functions, such as, running synchronization or simulation, starting the target system browser and others.

NOTE: The Manager is locked for editing throughout. To edit objects in the Manager, close the Synchronization Editor.

To open an existing synchronization project in the Synchronization Editor

In the Manager, select the Unix > Hosts category.
Select the host in the result list. Select the Change main data task.
Select the Edit synchronization project task.

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

In the Manager, select the Unix > Hosts > <host name> > Login shells category.
Select the login shell in the result list.
Select the Unix login shell overview task.
