Internal Mode (Originally Referred to as Option 1): All NNMi User Information in the NNMi Database

With configuration using the internal mode, NNMi accesses the NNMi database for all user access information, which the NNMi administrator defines and maintains in the NNMi console. The user access information is local to NNMi. NNMi does not access a directory service, and NNMi is not configured to retrieve information from the LDAP configuration file.

The following diagram shows the information flow for this option, which is appropriate in the following situations:

  • The number of NNMi users is small.
  • No directory service is available.

For information about setting up all user information in the NNMi database, see Control Access with NNMi Accounts in the NNMi help. You do not need to read this chapter.
