7 Click Next.
The User Configuration screen for the selected user directory type opens. Shared Services uses
the properties set in this screen to create a filter that is used to search for users in the user directory.
Using this filter speeds the search.
Hyperion recommends that you use the Auto Configure area of the screen to retrieve the required
information.
Note:
Data entry in the User Configuration screen is optional. If you do not specify the settings for the
filter, Shared Services searches the entire directory structure to locate users. This may have
performance implications, especially if the user directory contains accounts for many users.
Caution!
If the user URL is not set for user directories that contain / (slash) or \ (backslash) in its node
names, the search for users and groups fails. For example, any operation to list the user or group
fails if the user URL is not specified for a user directory where users and groups exist in a node
such as
OU=child\ou,OU=parent/ou, or OU=child/ou,OU=parent\ou.
8 In the text box in the Auto Configure area, enter a unique user identifier.
