Converting proxy groups

About this task

Use the following procedure to replace the proxy groups required in a Windows NT® domain environment with an HCL VersionVault users group that is an Active Directory universal group. The universal group includes the groups formerly used as proxy groups.
Note: You can use this procedure only in an Active Directory domain that is operating in native mode. The HCL VersionVault users group and all the proxy groups must exist in the same forest.

Procedure

  1. Use Active Directory management tools to rename the HCL VersionVault users group in the primary HCL VersionVault domain.
    For example, the ATLANTA\clearusers group created in the procedure in Using proxy groups and domain mapping in Windows NT domains could be renamed to ATLANTA\clearusers_Atlanta.
  2. Use Active Directory management tools to create a new (universal) HCL VersionVault users group.
    Keep the same name (ATLANTA\clearusers in our example), so that users do not have to change the value of their CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP environment variable.
  3. Use Active Directory management tools to add the former proxy groups (BOSTON\clearusers_Boston and CHICAGO\clearusers_Chicago in our example) and the group you renamed in Step 1 as members of the new (universal) HCL VersionVault users group.
  4. Disable domain mapping on all HCL VersionVault client and server hosts.
    To disable domain mapping on an HCL VersionVault host, use a registry editor to navigate to the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Atria\ClearCase\CurrentVersion, and then remove the DWORD value DomainMappingEnabled. (Some HCL VersionVault hosts might store this value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Atria\ClearCase\CurrentVersion.)
  5. Shut down and restart all HCL VersionVault client and server hosts.
