Provisioning Operators

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

■

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

■

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

■

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

■

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

■

Using Azure AD - see Authenticating Operator Login Using Azure AD

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

■

LDAP / RADIUS

■

Local storage (database)

If an LDAP / RADIUS authentication server is used but it is down or the operator can't be authenticated with it because either the operator isn't found or the password doesn't match, the local operators table is used.

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