Install the CA ControlMinder UNIX Attributes Plug-in

The CA ControlMinder 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.

Note: Provide the Active Directory administrator password during installation. The password is required as the Active Directory schema is modified. CA ControlMinder does not save the Active Directory administrator password.

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).

Follow these steps:

1. Insert the CA ControlMinder 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 ControlMinder UNIX Attributes plug-in installation wizard opens.

5. To install the CA ControlMinder UNIX Attributes plug-in, follow the instructions.

   The CA ControlMinder 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.
