Configure DashBoard URM Interface
This tab displays in the DashBoard client Device View when you expand the DashBoard Server node, right-click the DashBoard URM node, and select Open. This web-interface displays a tab within DashBoard and is used to configure how user data and permissions are managed. Use the options in this tab to configure your service as an isolated database or to use an external LDAP Server.
Figure 2.3 Configure DashBoard URM Tab
1.
This field displays the following information:
the maximum number of users that can be configured and active in your DashBoard URM as stipulated by your license key. Note that if the license allows for an unlimited number of users, this field is blank as the information is not tracked.

This area provides options for configuring how the DashBoard Server manages permissions for the DashBoard URM. There are two types of database management:
Embedded LDAP Server — This configuration enables the DashBoard Server and URM to create and maintain a separate database of permissions granted to users and roles. A user assigned to the Administrator role can manage permissions using the options in the Configure User Rights dialog. The number of users accounts currently configured or available is also displayed. This is the default.
External LDAP Server — This configuration enables the DashBoard Server to import permissions from an external LDAP Server. Permissions for the DashBoard Server mirror those established by the external LDAP Server. Maintenance of this information is done via the external LDAP Server and not through the DashBoard Server and URM interfaces. However, you can still set permissions for devices, such as openGear frames and cards, using the DashBoard URM licensed feature.

This area provides options for configuring how the DashBoard Server manages user account and role assignments for the DashBoard URM. There are two types of database management:
Embedded LDAP Server — This configuration enables the DashBoard Server and URM to create and maintain a separate database of user accounts and role assignments. A user assigned to the Administrator role can modify this information using the options in the Configure User Rights dialog. This is the default.
External LDAP Server — This configuration enables the DashBoard Server to import user accounts and roles from your corporate LDAP Server. Settings such as user log in information, and memberships to groups, are assumed from the external LDAP Server. Maintenance of this information is done via the external LDAP Server and not through the DashBoard Server and URM interfaces. When a user account is created, or deleted, from the external LDAP Server, their information is also deleted from the DashBoard Server and URM database the next time you refresh the list in the Configure User Rights dialog.
