User Reports

Table 12: User reports
Report Description
AD User Conflicts

Returns all users with Unix User ID numbers (UID numbers) assigned to other Unix-enabled user accounts.

By default, it creates this report using the default domain as the base container. Browse to search Active Directory to locate and select a different base container to begin the search.

NOTE: This report is available when you are logged on as an Active Directory account in the Manage Hosts role.
Local Unix User Conflicts

Identifies local user accounts that would conflict with a specified user name and UID on other hosts. You can use this report for planning user consolidation across your hosts. This report includes the following information:

  • Host Name, DNS Name or IP Address where a conflict would occur
  • User Name, UID Number, Primary GID Number, Comment (GECOS), Home Directory and Login Shell for each host where conflicts exist

Use the following report parameters to define the user name and UID number that would cause a conflict with existing local user accounts:

  • User Name is
  • UID Number is

NOTE: This report is available when you are logged on as the supervisor or an Active Directory account in the Manage Hosts role.
Local Unix Users

Lists all users on all hosts or lists the hosts where a specific user account exists in /etc/passwd. This report includes the following information:

  • Host Name, DNS Name or IP Address where the user exists
  • User Name, UID Number, Primary GID Number, Comment (GECOS), Home Directory, and Login Shell for each host where the user exists

If you do not define a specific user, it includes all local users on each profiled host in the report.

To locate a specific user, use the following report parameters:

  • User Name contains
  • UID Number is
  • Primary GID Number is
  • Comment (GECOS) contains
  • Home Directory contains
  • Login Shell contains

NOTE: When you specify multiple report parameters, it uses the AND expression; therefore, ALL of the selected parameters must be met in order to locate the user account.

 NOTE: This report is available when you are logged on as the supervisor or an Active Directory account in the Manage Hosts role.
Local Unix Users with AD Logon

Identifies the local user accounts that are required to use Active Directory credentials to log onto the Unix hosts. This report includes the following information for hosts that are joined to an Active Directory domain:

  • Host Name, DNS Name or IP Address of hosts where users exist that are required to log on using their AD credentials
  • User Name, UID Number, Primary GID Number and Comment (GECOS) of local user account
  • The SAM account Name of the Active Directory account that the local user account must use to log on

NOTE: This report only includes hosts joined to an Active Directory domain with a Authentication Services 4.x agent.

 NOTE: This report is only available when the host has Authentication Services 4.x or later installed and is joined to Active Directory. You must be logged in with an Active Directory account in the Manage Hosts role.
Master /etc/passwd List

Provides a consolidated list of all user accounts from all hosts, excluding any local users marked as system users. This report includes the following information:

  • Username
  • Empty password
  • UID
  • GID
  • GECOS
  • Home directory path
  • Account's shell

You can consolidate the list of user accounts by matching values for accounts across multiple hosts. Accounts found with matching values are listed as a single local account. This list is best used for migrating local users to Active Directory.

Indicate how you want to match user accounts by selecting the value parameters that you want to match:

  • Username
  • UID
  • GID
  • GECOS
  • Home Directory
  • Shell

Optionally, you can include the host name for the accounts, as well:

  • Include the host name for accounts

NOTE: If you select the Include the host name for accounts option, the mangement console adds a column to the Master_etc_passwdList .csv file to identify the host for each user account. One Identity provides the Host column information to help you resolve the entries in the file. However, before you import the .cvs file into the Unix Account Import Wizard, you must remove the Host column.

You can easily migrate local users to Active Directory by exporting the Mater /etc/passwd List report, then importing it into the Unix Account Import Wizard, accessible from the Control Center's Tools link. The Unix Account Import Wizard is a versatile tool that helps migrate Unix account information to Active Directory. It is especially well suited to small, one-shot import tasks such as importing all the local user accounts from a specific Unix host. The Unix Account Import Wizard can import Unix data as new user and group objects or use the data to Unix-enable existing users and groups.

NOTE: This report is available when you are logged on as the supervisor or an Active Directory account in the Manage Hosts role.

Unix-Enabled AD Users

Lists all Active Directory users that have Unix user attributes.

NOTE:

  • A User object is considered to be 'Unix-enabled' if it has values for the UID Number, Primary GID Number, Home Directory and Login Shell.
  • If Login Shell is /bin/false, the user is considered to be disabled for Unix or Linux logon.
  • Account Disabled indicates whether the Active Directory User account is enabled or disabled.

By default, it creates this report using the default domain as the base container. Browse to search Active Directory to locate and select a different base container to begin the search.

NOTE: This report is only available if you have configured the mangement console to recognize Active Directory objects (see Configuring the Console to Recognize Unix Attributes in AD), and you are logged on as an Active Directory account in the Manage Hosts role.

Group Reports

Table 13: Group reports
Report Description
AD Group Conflicts

Lists all Active Directory groups with Unix Group ID (GID) numbers assigned to other Unix-enabled groups.

By default, it creates this report using the default domain as the base container. Browse to search Active Directory to locate and select the base container to begin the search.

NOTE: This report is available when you are logged on as an Active Directory account in the Manage Hosts role.
Local Unix Groups

Identifies the hosts where a specific group exists in /etc/group. This report includes the following information:

  • Host Name, DNS Name or IP Address where the group exists
  • Group Name, GID Number, and members for each host where the group exists

If you do not specify a group, it includes all local groups on each profiled host in the report.

To locate a specific group, use the following report parameters:

  • Group Name contains
  • GID Number is
  • Member contains
  • Include all group members in report

NOTE: The Member contains field accepts multiple entries separated by a comma. Spaces are taken literally in the search. For example, entering:

  • adm, user searches for members whose name contains 'adm' or ' user'
  • adm,user searches for members whose name contains 'adm' or 'user'.

NOTE: When you specify multiple report parameters (for example, Group Name contains, GID Number is, and Member contains), it uses the AND expression; therefore, ALL of the selected parameters must be met in order to locate a group.

In addition, it includes all of the group members in the report by default, but you can clear the Include all group members in report option.

 NOTE: This report is available when you are logged on as the supervisor or an Active Directory account in the Manage Hosts role.
Unix-Enabled AD Groups

Lists all Active Directory groups that have Unix group attributes.

NOTE: A Group object is considered 'Unix-enabled' if it has a value for the GID Number.

By default, it creates this report using the default domain as the base container. Browse to search Active Directory to locate and select a different base container to begin the search.

 NOTE: This report is only available if you have configured the mangement console to recognize Active Directory objects. (See Configuring the Console to Recognize Unix Attributes in AD), and you are logged on as an Active Directory account in the Manage Hosts role.
