Scan for Domains in Local and Trusted Forests
If domains are added or removed from the local forest, or if two-way forest trusts between the local forest and one or more
remote forests are added or removed, use the Data Collector to scan for domains.
Prerequisites
The Data Collector must be configured to authenticate users with an Active Directory directory service and Kerberos.
NOTE: Authentication attempts for Active Directory users may fail while a rescan operation is in progress.

The Unisphere Central Home page is displayed.
2. Click Data Collector.
The Data Collector view is displayed.
3. Click the Environment tab and then select the Directory Service subtab.

Grant Access to Directory Service Users and Groups
To allow directory users to log in to Unisphere Central, add directory service users and/or user groups to Data Collector user
groups.
Add Directory Groups to a Data Collector User Group
Add a directory group to a Data Collector user group to allow all users in the directory group to access Unisphere Central.
Access can be granted to groups that belong to the domain to which the Data Collector is joined, domains in the same forest,
and domains that belong to forests for which two-way forest trusts are configured. Directory service groups are not supported
for one-way trust domains.
Prerequisites
The Data Collector must be configured to authenticate users with an external directory service.
