Search for an Active Directory user

You can search for an Active Directory user from the User list.

Note: The search for the Active Directory is allowed only in 'Hybrid' mode. To know about the different modes of authentication, see the help in the AVEVA Mobile Operator web application.

1. Click the List Manager menu in Security Manager.

2. Click Users from the Edit menu.

   The Users and Search AD User tabs appear in the workspace.

3. In the Search AD User tab, enter the search string in the field and then click the search () button.

   The search displays the list of Active Directory user names from the database that contains the search text.

4. Select the required user from the list.

   The user details appear in the User pane.

5. Optional:If you do not want to use an Active Directory password to access the AVEVA Mobile Operator application, then you can set a local password for the Active Directory user by doing the following steps:

   1. From the User pane, select Set Local Password check box to set password for an Active Directory user.

      Note:If you have already set the local password for the user and you want to remove this setting, then clear the Set Local Password check box.

   2. In the Users tab, right-click the user, and select Edit Password.

      The Edit Password window appears.

   3. Enter and confirm the new password.

      The Active Directory user can now use this new password to sign in to the AVEVA Mobile Operator applications, such as Management Center.

6. Click the File menu in Security Manager and select Save to save the changes. Alternately, you can press CTRL+S or right-click the tab and select Save.
