Instructions

  1. Open an SSH or PuTTY session to the ACM server as root.
  2. Go to the /usr/local/dataprotection/var/configmgr/server_data/config directory.
  3. Make a backup of the ldapIntegrationStatus.xml file with the following command:
cp ldapIntegrationStatus.xml ldapIntegrationStatus.xml.orig
  1. Edit the file changing the status tag for the system you do not want to configure LDAP/AD on as follows:
    1. If you have manually set up LDAP/AD on that system, change the status to INTEGRATED
    2. If you do not want LDAP/AD configured on this at all, change the status to NOT_SUPPORTED
    3. To skip DD because you have set up AD already, you change this to INTEGRATED, and it looks like the following:
        <component>
            <id>DATA_DOMAIN</id>
            <status>INTEGRATED</status>
        </component>
