Editing User Directory Settings

You can modify any parameter, other than name, of a user directory configuration. Oracle recommends that you not edit the configuration data of user directories that were used for provisioning.

Caution!

Editing some settings, for example, the ID Attribute, in the user directory configuration invalidates provisioning data. Exercise extreme care when modifying the settings of a user directory that has been provisioned.

  To edit a user directory configuration:

  1. Launch the Shared Services Console. See Launching Shared Services Console.

  2. Select Administration, and then Configure User Directories.

  3. From Defined User Directories screen, select a user directory to edit.

  4. Click Edit.

  5. Modify the configuration settings.

    Note:

    You cannot modify the configuration name. If you are modifying an LDAP user directory configuration, you can choose a different directory server or Other (for custom LDAP directories) from the Directory Server list. You cannot edit Native Directory parameters.

    For an explanation of the parameters you can edit, see the following tables:

  6. Click Finish to save the changes.
