Before displaying the provider page, the wizard searches, within the authentication providers that were specified when Shared Services was configured for external authentication, for matching users. If multiple providers were specified, the search process proceeds in the order in which providers are listed in the external authentication configuration file.
The provider page displays the search results in a table. The table contains the following columns:
One column identifies, by Native User ID, the native Essbase Administration Server or Essbase Server users, including users who were authenticated natively or externally in a previous release.
Other columns display information (External User ID, Last Name, First Name, and External Provider) about matching users that were found within the specified authentication providers.
Note: | The table lists only first matches. To search for other matches, you select a user, click the Search button, and specify search criteria. |
The Action column displays the migration action applied to each user (Create, Migrate, or Do not migrate)
The Create option, which creates a native Shared Services user, is available only for users for whom no match was found. The Migrate option is available only for users for whom a match was found. In both cases, the user (created or previously existing) is tagged, in the local security file, as migrated and is provisioned, within Shared Services, with the access and role that the native security user was granted.
Note: | In the Action column, you can select migration options, one per user. |
To apply a migration action to multiple users simultaneously, select the users, and, in the Action list, select a migration option (Create, Migrate, or Do not migrate).
The page provides the following buttons:
Apply—To apply your migration selections and, thus, to update the Action column
Search—To open the Find External User dialog box, and, thus, to search for another match for the selected user
