Configure a LanMan User Directory Connection

You can configure a user directory connection that lets the Policy Server communicate with a LanMan Directory user store.

Note: The following procedure assumes that you are creating an object. You can also copy the properties of an existing object to create an object. For more information, see Duplicate Policy Server Objects.

1. Click Infrastructure, Directory.
2. Click User Directory, Create User Directory.

   The Create User Directory pane opens.

3. Verify that Create a new object is selected, and click OK.

   The Create User Directory: Name pane opens.

The list of registry keys you create for the LanMan user directory connection determines failover order.

LanMan User Directory Search Criteria

LanMan directory connections are a type of Windows user directory connection. A LanMan directory connection functions similarly to a regular Windows connection, with the exception of which actual Domain Controller handles requests. This does not affect the procedure for executing a user directory search.
