Use this window to manage user profiles for the Hardware Management Console by:
When you click Add..., Copy..., or Modify... for a user profile, type a user ID and description.
Users who remotely authenticate through Kerberos or LDAP must have their profiles set appropriately. You must set the user profile of each remotely authenticated Kerberos or LDAP user to use that type of authentication instead of local authentication. A user that is set to use Kerberos or LDAP remote authentication will always use that type of authentication, even when the user logs in to the HMC locally.
Note: Use of Kerberos authentication requires configuration of a KDC server using the KDC Configuration task. Use of LDAP authentication requires configuration of an LDAP server using the LDAP Configuration task. You do not need to set all users to use Kerberos or LDAP remote authentication. You can set some user profiles so that the users can use local authentication only.
For security reasons, remotely authenticated Kerberos or LDAP users cannot lock the local console.
Select Local Authentication, Kerberos Authentication, or LDAP Authentication.
Then select one or more available Managed Resource Roles to designate the access permissions and one Task Role.
