Management Tools

The management tools provide a web-based graphical user interface and a command-line interface where you can manage the configuration data. The tools only operate on the configuration repository and do not require the agents to run.

If you use an LDAP configuration repository, you can deploy the management tools in a separate system from the one that holds the LDAP service. If you use the file-based repository, the management tools require direct access as well as read/write permissions to the repository for the noaccess user, or the user under which the Java Web Console is executed. That is, the tools must be in the same system as the repository, or the repository must be an NFS mount with read/write access for the tools. The noaccess user runs the Desktop Manager GUI, and must be created when you install the tools.

You can use the management tools to create, delete, modify, assign, and unassign profiles. You cannot use the tools to add, delete, and modify elements in the hierarchy, for example, to add users.
