Replicating Users on a Managed Appliance

User replication executes a system-wide replication of its user database from the current appliance (displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen) to the selected managed appliances.

Replicated data includes the rights and privileges of all users and roles on the current appliance.

The list box lists each managed appliance.

Procedure

  1. Select the appliances in the Management Station cluster in the Administration > User Replication tab list box.
    Note: To select multiple appliances, hold the Ctrl-key for Windows or the Command key for Apple Macintosh.
  2. Click Confirm to update the selected appliances.

Result

If you created a user with the same user name on a remote appliance as well as a Management Station appliance, and the remote appliance is in the Management Station cluster when you replicate users, the shared user is not replicated. To replicate the shared user, you must delete the user on the remote appliance before replicating users. If you do not first remove the user on the remote appliance, the shared user is not replicated and you might not be able to successfully run searches and reports.

If you do not see the target appliance in the cluster, verify that it is in the list from the Management Station > Configuration tab. If needed, you can add an appliance to the cluster from that tab.
