31.5 Managing Authentication Server
Connections for User Sources
The Authentication Servers panel on a user source’s details page lets you edit authentication server
connections, including adding, removing or reordering connections.
The Authentication Servers panel displays information about the user source’s ZENworks Primary
Servers and Satellite devices that have been configured with the Authentication role. You can also
edit the user source settings for each device.
When users logged in to previous versions of ZENworks, they were authenticated to the
Management Zone by contacting the ZENworks Primary Server, which in turn contacted the user
source that contains the users.
Satellite devices with the Authentication role can now speed the authentication process by spreading
the workload among various devices and by performing authentication locally to managed devices.
You can have multiple Satellite devices with the Authentication role. In addition, each Satellite with
the Authentication role can have multiple user sources configured and each Satellite can have
multiple connections to each user source to provide failover.
On the managed device, the Authentication module is inactive until you promote the managed
device to be a Satellite with the Authentication role or until the Authentication role is added to an
existing Satellite.

31.5.1 Assigning a Connection to an Authentication Server
1 In ZENworks Control Center, click the Configuration tab.
2
In the User Sources panel, click the name of a user source to display its details.
3 In the Authentication Servers panel, select the check box next to the server’s name, then click
Edit to display the Edit Authentication Server Connections dialog box.
4 Click Add to display the Add User Source Connections dialog box.
By default, the Add link is disabled because all connections to the user source display. If a
connection is removed, the Add link is enabled.
5 (Optional) Use the Connection Name field to filter the list of connections.
Specify all or part of the name for the connection to the LDAP directory, then click Filter to
display the list of connections that match the criteria.
If you have many connections in your ZENworks Management Zone, you can use the
Connection Name field to display only those connections that match the criteria. For example,
to display all connections that contain the word “London,” type
London
in the Connection
Name field, then click Filter .
6 (Optional) Use the Connection Address field to filter the list of connections.
Specify part of the IP address or DNS hostname of the connection to the LDAP directory, then
click
Filter to display all connections with that IP address.
