Creating the BlueCatGateway UDF - Adaptive Applications - BlueCat Gateway - 23.1

BlueCat Server Update Services (BSUS) is built on BlueCat Gateway. In turn, Gateway provides access to BlueCat Address Manager. In order for BlueCat Gateway (and BSUS) to properly access permissions and workflows, you must set up a user-defined field (UDF) in Address Manager with the name BlueCatGateway (and some additional parameters).

To create the BlueCatGateway UDF:

1. Log in to Address Manager as an administrator.

2. Select the Administration tab.

3. Under Data Management, click Object Types.

4. Under Object Types, click Admin then click Named User. The Named User Object Information page opens.

5. Under Fields, click New. The Add User-Defined Field page opens.

6. Under General, set the following parameters:

   • Name: Type BlueCatGateway. This name will be used by the Address Manager database.

     Important: Enter this name exactly as written. The BlueCatGateway UDF name is case sensitive and does not contain spaces.

   • Display Name: Type a user-friendly name (such as BlueCat Gateway), then click Add. The display name appears below the text field.

   • Type: Select Text.

   • Hide From Search: Leave blank.

   • Require Value: Leave blank.

   • Pre-Defined Values: Leave all fields and options blank.

   • Validation Properties (under Advanced): Leave blank.

   • Change Control: Add comments to describe your changes.

   When you're done, click Add.

The display name of the BlueCatGateway UDF will now appear under the Additional Information section of the Add User page.
