To access user management functions, click Administration at the top of the License Statistics web page to access the User Management tab. (Note: You must have License Statistics administrator privileges to use the user management features of License Statistics. If you do not have administrator privileges, you will not see an Administration link at the top of the License Statistics web page.)
From the User Management tab, you can enable automatic user account creation, manually create new users, edit user account details, and delete user accounts, as described below. You can also enable/disable authentication from this page.
For information about creating user accounts automatically using LDAP, see Automating user account creation using LDAP.
To add a License Statistics user:
Important: If you subsequently disable LDAP, the user logins will fail. If you uncheck the Authenticate through LDAP option, the user credentials will be taken from the License Statistics database.
Note that the administrator login cannot use LDAP authentication.
For more information on using LDAP for user authentication, see Connecting to an LDAP server and Automating user account creation using LDAP.
To edit a user's details:
Note: If the Authenticate through LDAP option was checked and you uncheck it, the user credentials will be taken from the License Statistics database.
For more information on using LDAP for user authentication, see Connecting to an LDAP server and Automating user account creation using LDAP.
To delete a user, click the Delete icon in the Actions column for that user. Confirm the deletion in the dialog that pops up.
User authentication is enabled by default and may be toggled on and off using the Enable authentication checkbox at the top of the User Management page.
When authentication is toggled on, users must log in to access License Statistics. If authentication is toggled off, users can access License Statistics without logging in. You might decide to turn off authentication if, for example, you provide your own method of security by allowing access to License Statistics only through your intranet.
After toggling authentication on/off, you must click Save to accept the change. If you have toggled authentication on, you are returned to the Login page, where you must log in using a valid username/password in order to access License Statistics.
