Adding an LDAP-managed account on an Analyzer or a Collector

An LDAP-managed account is one that you create on the Real User Analyzer or Real User Collector but is authenticated by your LDAP server. When you create the user account, you also specify the role of the user. You would use this procedure if you selected to use LDAP authentication and Local authorization.

Before you begin

You must have enabled the LDAP service on the Analyzer, as described in Selecting an account-management model for an Analyzer or a Collector.
