PAM overview
Use PAM to v
iew and update individual user accounts for unusual circumstances on the RISS. Initial
setup and routine addition and deletion of user accounts occurs automatically through synchronization
with Windows Active Directory .
RISS archi
ves emails and other documents in one or more repositories. A repository is a virtual colle ction
of documents associated with a given user by routing rules (storing) and access control lists (ACLs)
(retrieving). Users can find and retrieve or delete archived documents they can access.
User accounts
Use PAM to update user accounts as follows:
• add users not imported through dynamic account synchronization (DAS)
• add special-purpose repositories
• add or modif y routing rules
• add users to new and existing ACLs
NOTE:
You can view user accounts on replica domains, but you cannot use PAM to add or edit them. Fields
cannot be edited and action buttons are unavailable when you select a domain that is a replica of
another domain.
Installing PAM
PAM runs on Microsoft Windows platforms. To install PAM, copy the pam directory from the Utilities CD
to a Windows drive.
Logging in to PAM
1. Navigate to the pam/bin directory on your Windows machine.
2. Double-click pam.bat. The Login dialog box appears.
