User Profile

When a user who has not been assigned an administrative role authenticates to the Access Manager, the default view is their own User Profile.

In this view the user can modify the values of the attributes particular to their personal profile. The attributes displayed in the User Profile view can be extended. For more information on adding customized attributes for objects and identities, see the Access Manager Developer’s Guide.

The user profile attributes are as follows:

First Name. This field takes the first name of the user. (The First Name value and the Last Name value identify the user in the Currently Logged In field in the upper right corner of the Access Manager console.)

Last Name. This field takes the last name of the user. (The First Name value and the Last Name value identify the user in the Currently Logged In field in the upper right corner of the Access Manager console.)

Full Name. This field takes the full name of the user.

Password. Click on the Change link to enter a new password that the user will use to login to Access Manager. You are required to confirm the password. Click OK to save the changes and exit the Change Password window.

Email Address. This field takes the email address of the user.

Employee Number. This field takes the employee number of the user.

Telephone Number. This field takes the telephone number of the user.

Home Address. This field can take the home address of the user.

User Status. This option indicates whether the user is allowed to authenticate through Access Manager. Only active users can authenticate through Access Manager. The default value is Active. Either of the following can be selected from the pull-down menu:

User Authentication Configuration. This attribute sets the authentication method for the user. The default authentication method is LDAP. One or more authentication methods can be selected by clicking the Edit link. If more than one method is selected, then the user may have to successfully authenticate to all of selected methods.

User Alias List. The field defines a list of aliases that may be applied to the user. In order to use any aliases configured in this attribute, the LDAP service has to be modified by adding the iplanet-am-user-alias-list attribute to the User Entry Search Attributes field in the LDAP service.
