AdminStudio 2013 | Legacy Distribution Wizard
This panel is displayed if you selected the ZENworks Desktop Application or ZENworks Server Distribution method from the Distribution Type panel.
Use this panel to login to the server location where you want to create the Distribution Object. Enter the following options:
|
Option |
Description |
|
Login Name |
Enter a valid Login Name for the Novell server where you want to create the Distribution Object. This is a required field. For more information, see Specifying Multiple Parameters in the Login Name and Context Fields. |
|
Password |
Enter a valid password for the specified Login Name. |
|
Server |
Enter the machine name or IP address of the Novell server where you want to create the Distribution Object. |
|
Context |
Enter the Novell environment where you want to create the Distribution Object. Because you can choose to define the context information in the Login Name field, this field is optional. For more information, see Specifying Multiple Parameters in the Login Name and Context Fields. |
|
SSL Port Number |
Specify the secure port to connect to ZENworks. The default/recommended port value is 636. |
Note: All of these entries except the password are saved and will pre-populate these fields the next time you access this panel.
Specifying Multiple Parameters in the Login Name and Context Fields
The entries that you make in the Login Name and Context fields are concatenated to form the Novell distinguished name. If you enter jsmith in the Login Name field and myorg in the Context field, the login information that AdminStudio would pass to the server would be:
cn=jsmith, o=myorg
Specifying Multiple Parameters in the Login Name Field
Instead of making entries in both the Login Name and Context fields, you could enter both the login name and the context in the Login Name field (separated by either periods or commas). AdminStudio uses a formula to determine how to pass these parameters to the server:
|
If you enter ... |
AdminStudio assumes that ... |
|||||||||
|
two unqualified parameters in the Login field, such as: jsmith, myorg |
Therefore, the following parameters are passed to the server: cn=jsmith, o=myorg |
|||||||||
|
more than two unqualified parameters in the Login field, such as: jsmith, dept01, office03, myorg |
Therefore, the following parameters are passed to the server: cn=jsmith, ou=dept01, ou=office03, o=myorg |
In this instance, you would leave the Context field blank.
Specifying Multiple Parameters in the Context Field
If you would like to enter multiple parameters in the Context field, you would enter the login name in the Login Name field without parameters (jsmith, for example), and then specify all of the context parameters in the Context field. You can enter multiple qualified parameters in any order:
ou=dept01, o=myorg, ou=office03
However, if you enter multiple unqualified parameters in the Context field, AdminStudio uses a formula to determine how to pass these parameters to the server:
|
If you enter ... |
AdminStudio assumes that ... |
||||||
|
one unqualified parameter in the Context field, such as: myorg |
The following parameter is passed to the server: o=myorg |
||||||
|
two unqualified parameters in the Context field, such as: dept01, myorg |
Therefore, the following parameters are passed to the server: ou=dept01, o=myorg |
||||||
|
more thantwo unqualified parameters in the Context field, such as: dept01, office03, myorg |
Therefore, the following parameters are passed to the server: ou=dept01, ou=office03, o=myorg |
Caution: If the above formulas do not accommodate your data, always use fully qualified naming.
Caution: The Login Name is a required field; you cannot leave the Login Name field blank and specify the login name in the Context field using the cn parameter.
