Configure a Connection to the Configuration Server Directory Service

Before you configure a connection to your external directory services, you must first create a connection to the internal Configuration Server Directory Service. This is known as the HPCA-CS connection.

Note: The HPCA-CS connection cannot be used for policy resolution.

The Configuration Server Directory Service connection (HPCA-CS) is a prerequisite for using the HPCA Console to administer policy. Be sure to configure this connection first before configuring an LDAP or LDAPS (Secure) connection.

To configure the Configuration Server directory service:

  1. From the Configuration tab, click Directory Services in the left pane.
  2. From the Directory Services detail section, click the (Create New Directory Service) button. The Directory Service Connection Wizard starts.
  3. Specify a Display Name and Description. From the Type list, select HPCA-CS. Only one HPCA-CS directory service can be created.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Under Connection Settings, you have the following options. All parameters marked with an asterisk (*) are required.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Review the Summary screen. If all properties are correct, click Commit.
  8. Click Close to acknowledge the dialog.

    The directory source is added to the Directory Services list.
