Before displaying this page, the wizard searches, within the authentication providers that were specified when Shared Services was configured for external authentication, for matching groups. If multiple providers were specified, the search process proceeds in the order in which providers are listed in the external authentication configuration file.
Note: | If you initiated the wizard from Essbase Administration Server, this page is not displayed and, thus, this topic is not applicable. |
The provider page displays the search results in a table. The table contains the following columns:
One column identifies, by Native Group ID, the native Essbase Server groups, including groups that were authenticated natively or externally in a previous release.
Other columns display information (External Group ID, Last Name, First Name, and External Provider) about matching groups that were found within the specified authentication providers.
Note: | The table lists only first matches. To search for other matches, you select a group, click the Search button, and specify search criteria. |
The Action column displays the migration action applied to each group (Create, Migrate, or Do not migrate)
The Create option, which creates a native Shared Services group, is available only for groups for which no match was found. The Migrate option is available only for groups for which a match was found. In both cases, the group (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 group was granted.
Note: | In the Action column, you can select migration options, one per group. |
To apply a migration action to multiple group simultaneously, select the groups, 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 group
