  5. Test the data by completing the following steps:

    1. In your browser window, open https:// your_server_IP_address /eGuide.

    2. Authenticate to eGuide as admin with a password of novell .

    3. In the Find People drop-down lists, select Last Name and Starts With .

    4. In the Find People field, enter co and then select Search.

    5. You should see Dave Coughanour and Jason Corry located in the search. View the information eGuide pulled from eDirectory.

    6. Select the Organizational Chart tab. The organizational structure you defined in the user object attributes is displayed.

  6. Configure the attributes displayed by eGuide by completing the following steps:

    1. In eGuide, select Administration Utility .

    2. Select LDAP Data Sources .

    3. On the New_Data_Source line, select Edit .

    4. Select the Attributes tab.

    5. Mark the following check boxes for the following attributes:

      Attribute

      Check Box(es)

      Company

      Enable

      directreports

      Enable, Searchable

      facsimiletelephonenumber

      Enable, Searchable, Editable

      Manager

      Enable, Searchable

      telephonenumber

      Enable, Searchable, Editable

    6. Click Save .

    7. Click the Launch eGuide Client icon.

    8. In the first Find People drop-down list, verify that the preceding searchable attributes are included in the list.

    9. Search for the DCoughanour user object. Verify that the attributes configured previously are displayed.

That's it for eGuide. It's a very solid product that works very well right out of the box. You've probably noticed as we went through the preceding content that it really doesn't require a lot of administrative intervention to deploy.

With eGuide done, you'll now learn about the Linux User Management component of NNLS.
