Selecting an account-management model

The system provides the following account types:

• Local accounts — The system handles authentication and authorization through its own passwords and roles.

• LDAP-managed accounts — The system manages the authentication and authorization of accounts by using LDAP or a hybrid approach in which the LDAP server handles authentication and BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring handles authorization. 

  When LDAP handles authorization, the Administrator configures role mappings, which associate LDAP groups with BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring access levels (roles).

To establish how the device authenticates and authorizes users, select the account-management model for the device.
