To Enable Distributed Administration

1. Verify that a directory server is installed.

2. Access the Administration Server.

3. (Optional) After a directory server has been installed, you might also need to create an administration group if you have not already done so. To create a group:

   1. Click the Users and Groups tab.

   2. Click the Create Group link.

   3. Create an administrators group in the LDAP directory, and add the names of the users to whom you are granting permission to configure the Administration Server or any of the servers installed in its server root.

      For more information about specific fields, see the online Help.

      All users in the administrators group have full access to the Administration Server, but access control can be used to limit the servers and forms they are allowed to configure.

      Once an access control list is created, the distributed administration group is added to that list. If the name of the administrators group is changed, you must manually edit the access control list to change the group it references.

4. Click the Preferences tab.

5. Click the Configure Distributed Administration link.

6. Select Yes, specify the administrator group, and then click OK.
