Editing User Directory Settings

Administrators can modify any parameter, other than the 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. Access Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console as System Administrator. See Launching Shared Services Console.
2. Select Administration, and then Configure User Directories.
3. 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 that you can edit, see the following tables:

   • Active Directory and other LDAP-based user directories, see the tables in Configuring OID, Active Directory, and Other LDAP-based User Directories.

   • Databases: See the table in Configuring Relational Databases as User Directories

6. Click OK to save the changes.
