The first time you log in to the ProfileUnity Management Console, use admin as your username and leave the password field blank. The Management Console will ask you to set up a password for the Admin account. This admin account can be used to manage access for other users and can be used to log in if LDAP authentication fails.
Your password must be at least 8 characters long and must include at least one character from three of the following categories:
- Uppercase letters
- Lowercase letters
- Numbers
- Non-alphanumeric characters
Keep the password in a safe place so you can refer to it as needed.
ProfileUnity makes extensive use of Active Directory, including deploying client files and updated configurations to user’s desktops. Consequently, the first time you log in to the ProfileUnity Management Console, ProfileUnity asks you to configure a few global settings to help automate the setup of your environment for ProfileUnity.
You can grant other users access to the Profile Management Console by adding them to the list of valid Active Directory users. Simply enter the AD group name in the relevant field and click Add. To remove a group, select Remove next to the group’s name.
ProfileUnity’s client tools and configuration files are typically installed on the NETLOGON share of your domain controller. If you are utilizing cloud storage, you need to point to your configurations folder. For example: S3://lw-profileunity-us-east-1/configurations. Refer to the Using Cloud Storage Guide for detailed information on configuring your cloud storage. If you need to change where the client files are deployed in your environment, enter the new location in the Deployment Path field.
You can update the AD Groups and the Login and Deployment Path later in the Administration Area of the Management Console.
Note: During the configuration process, ProfileUnity offers the option to configure Active Directory automatically using the Computer OU that you set up before installation. However, you must be logged in as an Active Directory admin to the ProfileUnity Management Console for this option to work correctly. Therefore, we recommend that you log out from the ProfileUnity admin account and log back in using your Active Directory Domain Admin account credentials before using the Guided Configuration Wizard.
