Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Choose a Mode for NNMi Access
Decide how to configure access to NNMi:
-
NNMi Configuration Settings to Control NNMi Access.
NNMi user names, passwords, and User Group membership are defined within the NNMi database.
-
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to Control NNMi Access.
NNMi administrators have choices about which information NNMi gathers from the directory service:
- User Accounts (user names and passwords)
- User Accounts (user names and passwords) plus User Groups and User Group Mappings
-
X.509 Certificates to Control NNMi Access.
The X.509 Certificate approach eliminates the need for any passwords.
Tip NNMi supports Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) user authentication. This includes Smart Cards, such as Common Access Card (CAC) and Personal Identity Verification (PIV).
NNMi administrators have choices about where NNMi gathers User Account Mapping information:
- NNMi's database
- Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
Caution You must choose one user authentication strategy and configure all NNMi users with the same approach.
| Mode |
Which Method for User Authentication? | User Account Definitions in NNMi | User Group Definitions in NNMi | Which Method for Group Membership? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 ‑ Internal | NNMi Password | yes | yes | NNMi User Account Mappings |
| 2 ‑ Mixed | LDAP Password | yes | yes | NNMi User Account Mappings |
| X.509 Certificate | yes | yes | NNMi User Account Mappings | |
| 3 ‑ External | LDAP Password | no | yes | LDAP |
| X.509 Certificate | no | yes | LDAP |
* Assign each NNMi user to one or more User Groups. At a minimum, each NNMi user must belong to one of the following:
- NNMi Administrators
- NNMi Level 1 Operators
- NNMi Level 2 Operators
- Guests
