Figure 9-6. Typical Setup for Active Directory Objects

User(s) Group(s)

Association Object

Privilege Object

RCS Privilege Object

RCS Device Object(s)

You can create as many or as few association objects as you want or need. However, you must create at least one Association Object, and you must have one RCS Device Object for each Remote Console Switch on the network that you want to integrate with Active Directory for Authentication and Authorization. The Association Object allows for as many or as few users and/or groups as well as RCS Device Objects. However, the Association Object only has one Privilege Object per Association Object. The Association Object connects the “Users” who have “Privileges” on the RCSs.

In addition, you can set up Active Directory objects in a single domain or in multiple domains. For example, you have two Remote Console Switches (RCS1 and RCS2) and three existing Active Directory users (user1, user2, and user3). You want to give user1 and user2 an administrator privilege to both Remote Console Switches and give user3 a login privilege to the RCS2.

Figure 9-7shows how you set up the Active Directory objects in this scenario.
