- What is...
  SafeLinx Administrator Help identifies and clarifies necessary topics.
  - Organizational unit
    An Organizational unit defines and groups resources.
  - Access manager
    The access manager program communicates with the SafeLinx Server's persistent data storage and manages the access to data.
  - SafeLinx Server
    The SafeLinx Server helps you connect mobile computing devices to your company's private intranet and the internet securely.
  - Mobile network connection
    A mobile network connection (MNC) is the SafeLinx Server's interface to a network provider.
  - Mobile access services
    Mobile access services integrate access for all supported wireless and wireline networks within a single resource.
  - Cluster manager
    A cluster manager is a resource that balances load and improves availability among SafeLinx Servers.
  - Messaging services
    Messaging services enable a web application server to send messages from a wired network to a client in a wireless network.
  - HTTP access services
    HTTP access services provide a secure tunnel for HTTP communication to any HTTP Version 1.1. client.
  - Directory server
    Directory servers allow the SafeLinx Server to use databases from existing user accounts.
  - Users
    User accounts allow a user to access the SafeLinx Client in order to connect to the SafeLinx Server.
  - Authentication profile
    An authentication profile is a set of third-party configuration properties, which are assigned to a connection profile or HTTP access service.
  - Admins
    Admins are users of the SafeLinx Administrator whose responsibilities range from initial configuration of a SafeLinx Server and definition of gateway resources, to maintaining and monitoring resources.
  - Access control lists (ACLs) and ACL Profiles
    An access control list (ACL) is a table of access levels for all resource types per organizational unit (OU). An ACL profile is a collection of ACLs that you assign to administrators to define their level of access to resources.
  - Mobile device
    A mobile device is device over which the SafeLinx Client uses to communicate with the SafeLinx Server. You define mobile devices to the SafeLinx Administrator to control which devices can access the SafeLinx Server.
  - Modem profile
    A modem profile enables a modem to communicate over a mobile network connection.
  - Wireless password policy
  - Group
    A group is a way to pool certain types of resources into an organizational unit.
  - Default resources
    Default resources is an organizational unit (OU) that contains some commonly used groups, profiles, and filters that are automatically installed with the SafeLinx Server.
  - Device resolver
    The device resolver identifies devices when the devices connect to the network.

Directory server

Directory servers allow the SafeLinx Server to use databases from existing user accounts.

A directory server is a resource that lets the SafeLinx Server use existing user account databases and provides the definition of how to contact another directory server service (DSS). If the existing database supports a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) client access, then the SafeLinx Server can load, use, and modify specific attributes that are stored with existing user records on local and remote directory servers.

A directory server resource is also assigned to LDAP-bind authentication profiles to specify which servers are used to perform the LDAP-bind operation to authenticate clients.

To redirect directory service lookups for specific user ID attributes, add a directory server resource, then edit the user ID properties to define which attributes are associated with the directory service.

To add a directory server, right-click the OU where you want the directory server that is created, then click Add Resource > Directory server. Identify the IP address or host name and port number of the remote directory service server where the principal user account resides. If you want to allow the SafeLinx Server to modify the attributes of the principal user account, then provide the administrator's distinguished name and password of the remote directory service.
