HP XP7 PA Software Installation Guide

Windows Domain based Authentication
In this authentication method, enter the Domain Name and Group Name for the administrators and
users. It is mandatory that you provide a domain name and group name each for both the
administrators and users. Only users from these domain groups (global groups) are given the
administrator and user privileges, and are authorized to log on to HP XP7 Performance Advisor.
By default, the HP XP7 Performance Advisor installer displays HP Storage Admins and HP Storage
Users as the domain groups. You can retain these names or provide group names of your choice
(the groups with the names that you provide must exist on the domain controller).
NOTE: Ensure that the domain or site administrator has created the two default domain groups,
HP Storage Admins and HP Storage Users or the domain groups of your choice on the domain
controller.
Click Next to proceed. The Choose Setup Type installation window appears. For more information
on the next set of steps, see “Selecting complete or custom installation method” (page 57).
LDAP Authentication
In this authentication method, you must configure the following settings to implement LDAP
authentication. HP XP7 Performance Advisor uses these settings to connect to the LDAP server, and
to authorize and authenticate its users:
• LDAP server and connection settings. For more information, see “Configuring the LDAP server
and connection settings” (page 51).
• LDAP server user search and filter, and group settings. For more information, see “Configuring
the LDAP user search and filter, and group settings” (page 53).
The Authentication Configuration window appears for LDAP, where you must provide the server
and connection settings followed by the subsequent installation window for LDAP, where you
provide the filter and group settings.
