Question: Can EMU be used to modify the value for the uniqueID attribute of existing users?
Situation: Customer reported that iManager is not letting existing admin level users access to file server / volume objects because the uniqueID attribute values are empty or do not match the common name attribute value. Customer confirmed that the value is blank.
Answer: Yes, EMU can do this type of update using "Modify Account(s) From a File".
Procedures: Use the following steps:
Create an EMU "uniqueid.csv" Export File
- In the "NDS View" pane in EMU, highlight the desired container, right-click and choose "Select All Users In Container" or "Select All Users In And Below This Container" OR use Control+Click or Shift+Click to select the desired users that need the uniqueID attribute modified.
- Right-click one of the highlighted users and choose to "Export Account Information".
- Select the "Login Name", "Distinguished Name", "Given Name" and "Last Name" check boxes.
- Click the "Advanced Values" button, scroll the "Advanced Values" list and select "uniqueID". Click "OK".
- Click "OK", specify a name for the .CSV file (e.g. "uniqueid.csv") and click "Save".
Modify the .CSV File
- Open the .csv file using Microsoft Excel.
- Copy the values from the "Login Name" column to the "uniqueID" column and save the file.
Locate the Users in EMU Using the .CSV File
- In the EMU main menu, select "Tools" > "Account Search Based on Data File".
- Click the "Select" button and choose the .CSV file modified above.
- Ensure that "Distinguished Name" is being used for "Identifier Field" and that "Distinguished Name" is selected as the "comparison field". Click "Next".
- In the "Report Information" pane, select the users displayed in the NDS Context, right-click and choose "Select in NDS View"
Modify Accounts From a File
- In the NDS Information pane, right-click one of the selected users, and choose "Modify Account(s) from File".
- Select the modified .CSV file and click "Open".
- Under the "Setup Information" tab, ensure that "Distinguished Name" is selected for "Select Account Identifier Field:".
- Select the "NDS" tab and click the "Advanced Values" button.
- Scroll down the Advanced Values list and select the "uniqueID" Schema Name item.
- In "Settings" check "Modify Value", select either "Replace Existing" or "Append Values" as desired, and select "uniqueID' from the drop-down list beside "Data File Field:".
- Click the "Modify" button.
- Verify the changes against one or more of the accounts using ConsoleOne.
