Directory (Light): Active Directory Container Object

Use an Active Directory container object to replicate your Microsoft Active Directory structure within the SGD organizational hierarchy.

Active Directory container objects are similar to organizational unit objects, but do not include additional SGD-specific attributes or allow you to assign applications. This is why they are called Directory (light) objects.

An Active Directory container object can be contained in an Organization, an Organizational Unit, or a domain component object.

To create an Active Directory container object, use the Administration Console or the tarantella object new_container command.

In the Administration Console, the configuration settings for an Active Directory container object are divided into a series of tabs.

Directory (Light): Domain Component Object

Use a domain component object to replicate a directory structure, usually a Microsoft Active Directory structure, within the SGD organizational hierarchy.

Domain component objects are similar to organization objects, but do not include additional SGD-specific attributes or allow you to assign applications. That is why they are called Directory (light) objects.

Domain component objects can only appear at the top of the organizational hierarchy, or within another domain component object.

Domain component objects can contain organizational unit, domain component, Active Directory container, or user profile objects

To create a domain component object use the Administration Console or the tarantella object new_dc command.

In the Administration Console, the configuration settings for domain component objects are divided into a series of tabs.

Use a document object to give a document to users.

A document object can refer to any Uniform Resource Locator (URL). This can be any document on the web, including Oracle Open Office software documents, or Adobe Acrobat software files. A document can also refer to a web application.

It is the user’s client device that actually fetches the URL and so firewall or other security measures might prevent a user from accessing a URL.

To create a document object, use the Administration Console or the tarantella object new_doc command.

In the Administration Console, the configuration settings for document objects are divided into a series of tabs.

The General tab contains the attributes that control the name and the icon used when creating links for users. The attributes on the General tab are as follows:

The Launch tab contains the URL that is displayed when users click the link for the document. See URL.

Group Object

Use a group object to associate groups of applications with a user profile, organizational unit, or organization, or to associate similar application servers for application load balancing.

Group objects are not the same as organizational units. Applications and application servers can only belong to one organizational unit, but can be a member of many different groups.

Members of a group can be moved or renamed without affecting group membership.

Group objects can be added to the following tabs for an object.

To create a group object, use the Administration Console or the tarantella object new_group command.

In the Administration Console, the configuration settings for group objects are divided into a series of tabs.
