Workgroup Manager: Authenticating as a network domain administrator

Workgroup Manager's normal authentication dialog is for server administrator authentication, but you can authenticate as a network domain administrator.

Important: The system that Workgroup Manager is running on must be bound to the directory domain to be administered.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open Workgroup Manager. The authentication dialog box appears.
  2. Click the Cancel button.
  3. From the Server menu, choose View Directories. This displays the same kind of window that a server administrator sees.

    Note: The View Directories feature uses the Directory Access settings to find the directories to view.
     
  4. Select the directory node to be administered from the pop-up menu below the toolbar.
  5. Click the lock icon to authenticate as the network domain administrator.



Additional information

Domain administrators cannot edit share points, so the Sharing button is dimmed ("grayed out").
