Field

Description

Change User

Select this to log on as a different user. The Logon User dialog box will appear. Once you have logged on, the DNAIdentity Test dialog box updates to display the permissions related to the new user.

Current User

This field displays the user name of the person currently logged on.

Auth Type

This field indicates if the user was defined in Windows or Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM).

SID

This field displays the security identifier of the user.

Authenticated

This checkbox will be selected if the user logged in with a valid user name and password. If the user is not authenticated, the checkbox is clear and a "Failed to login user" message appears along the Status bar.

LocalSystem User

This checkbox is selected if the user has the LocalSystem security identifier.

Known by ADAM

This checkbox is selected if the Current User’s account is defined in the ADAM datastore.

Computer Name

Enter the computer name that you want to evaluate for console restrictions and applications settings. If the field is left blank, the DNAIdentity Test dialog box will display all of the permission settings for the user and will not take the computer into account.

Apply Console

Restrictions

Select Apply Console Restrictions to filter the information in the DNAIdentity Test dialog box by the specified Computer Name. It will only display the Current User’s permission settings when using the specified computer.

Note: If "Computer does not exist" appears in the Status bar after you select Apply Console Restrictions, restrictions were not properly applied. Try again and ensure the Computer Name field is filled in correctly.

Note: DNA Identity Test will not automatically update if related changes are made in the Network Management Console (NMC). DNA Identity Test must be restarted before it will display the effects of recent changes.
