LDAP integration after Windows upgrade

If you upgrade Windows BigFix to V9.1, the BigFix V9.0 Active Directory solution is kept for compatibility with the existing environment. To switch to the new Web Reports and LDAP integration functionality, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to Web Reports.
  2. From User Management remove all the Active Directory users.
  3. Change the BES Web Report Server service from Active Directory account to Local System account.
  4. Set UseLegacyADLogin value in HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\BigFix\Enterprise Server\BESReports from 1 to 0.
  5. Restart the BES Web Report Server service.
  6. From the console, add Active Directory or LDAP by selecting Tool -> Add LDAP Directory.
  7. Log in to Web Reports and from User Management assign Web Reports roles to LDAP users and groups. For more information see Assigning a Web Reports role to LDAP users or groups.
