Creating the BlueCatGateway user in Address Manager - Platform - BlueCat Gateway - 25.2

Log in to Address Manager as an administrator.

Click the Settings tab on the sidebar, then expand User management and click Users and groups.

Click the New button.

In the Create user window, click the General tab (if it's not already selected) and enter the following:

• Name: Enter BlueCatGateway.

• E-mail Address: An email address to use for the BlueCatGateway user. This is required, so make sure it is an email address available to an appropriate role or administrator.

• Phone Number: (Optional) A phone number to use for the BlueCatGateway user.

Click the Authentication tab and enter the following:

• Authenticator: If you are using an external authenticator (that is, you're not using Address Manager's built-in authentication), select the authenticator from the menu.

  Note: If an external authenticator is used, the user name in the Name field must match the user name on the remote authentication system.

  Otherwise, select BlueCat Address Manager.

• Password, Re-enter password: Enter the password for the BlueCatGateway user.

• Leave the X.509 and Reset user password on next login settings cleared.

Click the Access rights tab and enter the following:

• Assign administrator privilege: Tick this checkbox to create the BlueCatGateway user an Administrator user. Clear this checkbox to create it as a non-Administrator user.

  Tip: To let administrators quickly grant permissions to BlueCat Gateway workflows and operations, you can add Administrator users to BlueCat Gateway User Groups.

• Security privilege: Select No access.

• History privilege: Select Hide.

• Access type: Select UI and API.

Click the User-defined fields tab. For the BlueCatGateway UDF (that you created earlier), enter all in the input field.

When you're done, click Create to create the user and return and close the window (or click Create and add another to add another user).
