LDAP Feature for the RCSxxx | xxx109the privilege object is linked to device objects via association objects to assignusage permissions.This model provides an Administrator maximum flexibility over the differentcombinations of users, privileges, and SIPs on the Remote Console Switchwithout adding too much complexity.Before installing the Dell Schema Extensions, Administrators should readthrough the descriptions and instructions within this chapter to determinewhich schema is right for their particular installation. Altering a schema objectwill cause it to propagate through Active Directory so that once it is created, itcannot be deleted. It can only be deactivated. Because of this, the benefits ofchanging the schema should be carefully weighed before the effort is undertaken.The primary benefit gained by installing the Dell Schema Extensions is toeliminate confusion. When using the standard Active Directory schema, aRemote Console Switch most closely matches a computer device object and isconfigured as one. Since the RCS is not a computer, the schema functions willnot all apply. Care will have to be taken to correctly configure an RCS that isdesignated in this manner.In addition, using the Dell Schema Extensions makes it easier to search on andidentify switch devices. A switch that is configured using a computer deviceobject will be searched on along with every computer device within the ActiveDirectory structure.The RCS can authenticate equally well using either schema and no functionalityis lost by using either method. Administrators are free to choose whichevermethod works within their particular installation. Instructions have beenprovided for installations with and without the Dell Schema extensions.Sections and instructions that pertain to only one schema set will be marked assuch and may be ignored in installations where they are not used.Standard InstallationBefore a Dell RCS can use Active Directory for authentication:1 Configure the Override Admin Account
