Creating a Local Directory in Omnissa Access

To create a local directory in the Omnissa Access service, you specify the user attributes for the directory, create the directory, and identify it with an identity provider.

Setting User Attributes at the Global Level in Omnissa Access

Before you create a local directory in the Omnissa Access service, review the global user attributes on the User Attributes page and add custom attributes, if necessary

User attributes, such as firstName, lastName, email and domain, are part of a user's profile. In the Omnissa Access service, user attributes are defined at the global level and apply to all directories in the service, including local directories. At the local directory level, you can override whether an attribute is required or optional for users in that local directory, but you cannot add custom attributes. If an attribute is required, you must provide a value for it when you create a user.

The following words cannot be used when you create custom attributes.

Words that cannot be used as Custom Attribute Names

Note: The ability to override user attributes at the directory level only applies to local directories, not to Active Directory or LDAP directories.

1. In the Omnissa Access console Settings > User Attributes page, review the list of user attributes and add additional attributes, if necessary.

   Note:* Although this page lets you select which attributes are required, it is recommended that you make the selection for local directories at the local directory level. If an attribute is marked required on this page, it applies to all directories in the service, including Active Directory or LDAP directories.

2. Click Save.

   Next, create the local directory.
