Install the CA Access Control UNIX Attributes Plug-in

The CA Access Control UNIX Attributes plug-in lets you manage UNIX attributes for UNAB users on Active Directory. The plug-in does not install an NIS server. Other tools that you can use to manage UNIX attributes for UNAB users include Microsoft Identity Management for UNIX, ADSI Edit, or simple LDAP clients.

By default, the plug-in uses the Active Directory 2003 R2 schema to read and write Active Directory data. If the R2 schema is not present, you can configure the plug-in to use different attributes.

You must install the plug-in on the server that users use to manage Active Directory, but you do not need to install the plug-on on the Active Directory domain controller (DC).

To install the CA Access Control UNIX Attributes plug-in

1. Insert the CA Access Control Endpoint Components for UNIX DVD into an optical disc drive on the server.
2. Browse to the following directory:

   ADTools\UnixADTabExt
   

3. Choose the directory that suites the operating system you are using.
4. Double-click the setup.exe file.

   The CA Access Control UNIX Attributes plug-in installation wizard opens.

5. Follow the instructions to install the CA Access Control UNIX Attributes plug-in.

   The CA Access Control UNIX Attributes plug-in is installed on the Active Directory host.

6. (Optional) Configure the Active Directory attributes that the plug-in uses.

   Complete this step if the Active Directory schema is not Windows 2003 R2.
