18.2 Planning

The following sections summarize LUM planning considerations.

18.2.1 eDirectory Admin User Is Automatically Enabled for Linux Access

When you install Linux User Management on an OES Linux server, the Admin User object that installs LUM is automatically enabled for eDirectory LDAP authentication to the server.

18.2.2 Planning Which Users to Enable for Access

You need to identify the users (and groups) who need eDirectory LDAP access to OES Linux servers.

This can be easily determined by doing the following:

  1. Review the information in Section 18.1.5, Services in OES Linux That Require Linux-Enabled Access.

  2. Identify the servers that will run the services mentioned.

  3. On your planning sheets, note the users and groups that you need to enable and the servers you need to enable them to access.
