User permissions required to install, configure, and use ad_response probe.

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

The documentation states that administration rights are required to configure and use the probe ad_response. 

For the customer, this statement is too vague and requires a more detailed list of permissions.

Environment

UIM : Any

Probe: Any

Cause

Documentation not clear enough about pre-requisites in terms of permissions.

Resolution

The ad_response probe runs remotely and doesn't need admin or root access. Basically, it requires the same permissions as for a robot.

However, the AD user used to create the monitoring profiles must have full read and write access to the AD system.
