Connecting to an EIM domain

Before you can work with an Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) domain, you must first connect to the EIM domain controller for the domain. You may connect to an EIM domain even if your IBM® i model is not currently configured to participate in this domain.

To connect to the EIM domain controller, the user with which you connect must be a member of an EIM access control group. Your EIM access control group membership determines what tasks you can perform in the domain and what EIM data you can view or change.

To connect to an EIM domain, complete the following steps:

  1. From IBM Navigator for i, expand Security > All Tasks > Enterprise Identity Mapping.
  2. Click Domain Management.
  3. Right-click the EIM domain to which you want to connect and select Connect.
    Note: If the domain with which you want to work is not listed under Domain Management, you must add an EIM domain to the domain management folder.
  4. On the Connect to EIM Domain Controller dialog, specify the User type, provide the required identification information for the user, and select a password option for connecting to the domain controller.
  5. Click ? for help, if necessary, to determine what information is needed for each field in the dialog.
  6. Click OK to connect to the domain controller.
