After you define a user source, the ZENworks Adaptive Agent automatically prompts device users to log in to the ZENworks Management Zone. If you do not want users to receive this prompt, you can uninstall or disable the User Management module at the ZENworks Adaptive Agent level. For more information, see Configuring Adaptive Agent Settings after Deployment
in the ZENworks 11 Adaptive Agent Reference.
In ZENworks Control Center, click the
tab.In the User Sources panel, click
to launch the Create New User Source Wizard.Follow the prompts to create the connection to the user source.
For information about each of the wizard pages, click the

Authentication Mechanisms page |
Select the mechanism used to authenticate users to the ZENworks Management Zone. The available mechanisms depend on whether you are configuring a Novell eDirectory or a Microsoft Active Directory user source.
If you select both available mechanisms ( and for Active Directory or and for eDirectory), ZENworks Configuration Management attempts to use the first mechanism for authentication. If authentication fails, the next mechanism is used. For example, if you select and for Active Directory, ZENworks Configuration Management first attempts to use Kerberos authentication. If Kerberos authentication fails, simple Username/Password authentication is used. |
User Containers page |
After you connect to an LDAP directory as a user source, you can define the containers within the directory that you want exposed. The number of user containers you define is determined by how much of the directory you want to expose. Consider the following example: Assume that you want to enable all users in the Accounting and Sales containers to receive ZENworks content. In addition, you want to be able to access the user groups located in the Accounting, Sales, and Groups containers in order to distribute content based on those groups. To gain access to the users and groups, you have two options:
To add the containers where users reside:
