Set up the Directory Services Connector server as a registered server

Use this task to set up the Directory Services Connector server as a registered server in ePO. This provides the Directory Services Connector with everything it needs to communicate with the Control Console.

Before you begin

You must be able to log on to the Control Console as a Customer Admin or higher. Additionally, McAfee recommends that you create a dedicated Customer Admin account for managing the Directory Services Connector.

For option definitions, click ? in the interface.

Task

  1. Select Menu | Configuration | Registered Servers, then click New Server.
  2. From the Server type menu, select Directory Services Connector .
  3. Enter a unique name, any additional information about the server, and then click Next.
  4. In the Control Console Hostname field, enter one of the two valid host names.
    • portal.saascontrol.com
    • console.saascontrol.com
    The host name you choose depends on whether the URL you use to log on to the Control Console contains the word portal or console.
    If your URL looks like this... Enter this valid host name...
    portal.example.com portal.saascontrol.com
    console.example.com console.saascontrol.com
    • Do not enter any other value for the host name.
    • Do not mismatch "portal" and "console" values.
    • Do not include the protocol, for example: https://.
    Note If you are not sure which value you should use, contact your admin or support representative.
  5. Type the user name and password you use to log on to the Control Console.
  6. In the DSC Server Nickname field, provide a name to identify this instance of the Directory Services Connector.
    Note By default, the DSC Server Nickname is the same as your ePO server name. The UID (Unit Identifier) field is populated automatically for the server after a synchronization. The UID can also be viewed in the Control Console to confirm the current DSC Registered Server associated with Directory Integration configuration for the customer.
  7. Select and enter the Active Directory Server Name.
  8. Enter the Username and Password for your Active Directory account.
  9. To verify that you have configured the server information correctly, click Test.

  10. In AD Synchronization Settings, complete the options to set up an Active Directory server.
  11. Click Save to register the server.
The added Directory Services Connector server appears on the Registered Server page.
