Field

Description

Vault Name

The name of the Identity Vault object. The default is Identity Vault.

Host

The eDirectoryâ„¢ host where you plan to log in and deploy.

Username

The eDirectory username that has sufficient rights to make changes to objects associated with this deployment.

Password

The password for the above user.

Save Password

Saves the password permanently, so you are authenticated into this Identity Vault each time you open Designer. If you use Save Password, the password is saved locally in Designer’s file system and is not secure.

If you do not select this option, the password is remembered only until you close Designer.

Test Credentials

Attempts a connection to the eDirectory server to validate your login credentials.

Deploy Context

The default DN container assigned to all driver sets that are associated with this Identity Vault. If you specify a DN container on the Driver Set object, that setting takes precedence over the default setting.

Administrator

The Administrator option is divided into three sections. Entering information in these sections is optional.

Server List

The Server List option displays the servers that are associated with the selected Identity Vault. You can add, edit, or remove the server entries.

NOTE:If you select the option to allow a default server to be created, that server shows up as Default Server.default_container in the list. You cannot deploy a driver set into an existing eDirectory tree if you have Default Server.default_container in the Server List. You must first remove this reference and add a Metadirectory server in an eDirectory tree.
