Provision Operators

The credentials of operators, i.e., network administrators or IT managers, can be provisioned in the following ways:

■

Using the ARM's Operators page – see Provision an Operator Manually in the ARM's Operators Page

■

Using the enterprise's LDAP authentication server – see Provision Operators using an LDAP Server

■

Using the enterprise's RADIUS authentication server – see Provision Operators using a RADIUS Server

■

Using the enterprise's Open LDAP authentication server – see Authenticate Operator Login using Open LDAP

■

Using Azure AD - see Authenticate Operator Login Using Azure AD

If LDAP / RADIUS is used, the order will be:

a.

LDAP / RADIUS

b.

Local storage (database)

If an LDAP / RADIUS authentication server is used but it is down or the operator cannot be authenticated with it because either the operator is not found or the password does not match, the local operators table is used.

The LDAP / RADIUS method of provisioning operators therefore coexists with the local storage (database) method.
