Configuring 'Move' Action

You can minimize the steps necessary to move objects via the corresponding action on Home page. For this purpose, you need to configure the action parameters to specify default of pre-set values for them.

To configure the 'Move' action on the Home page:

  1. Launch the Adaxes Web Interface Configuration Tool on the computer, where the Web Interface is installed.

    How:

    Windows 7 and earlier:

    • Open the Windows Start menu.
    • Click All Programs > Softerra Adaxes 2017.1 > Web Interface > Web Interface Customization.

    Windows 8 and 8.1:

    • Open the Start screen.
    • Start typing Web Interface Customization.
    • Press Enter.

    Windows 10:

    • Open the Windows Start menu.
    • Click All apps > Softerra Adaxes 2017.1 > Web Interface Customization.
  2. In Interface type drop-down list, select the type of the Web Interface you want to customize and click the General tab.

  3. Select the Actions pane check-box and click the Configure Home Page Actions button.

  4. In the Home Page Actions dialog that opens, click the Add button below to create a new action.

    The actions contained in the Actions pane can be organized into groups. To create a new action under a specific group, select this group before adding the action. To add a new group, click the Add Group button below, type group's name, and press Enter.
  5. In the Add Home Page Action wizard that opens, click Move and click Next.

  6. Provide the name, brief description, and confirmation text for the new action. Click Next.

    If you don't want any confirmation to be displayed, leave the Confirmation field blank.
  7. After the operation is initiated, users will need to select the Active Directory objects they want to move. On this wizard step, you can configure options for the selection of the objects.

    • To always perform the action on the account of the user who initiated it, select the Always perform for the current user option. In this case, the new action will allow users to move only their own user accounts.

    • To allow users to move only the Active Directory objects located under a specific container or Organizational Unit, enable the Allow selecting only AD objects located under a specific OU or container option. Specify the DN (Distinguished Name) of the OU or container you need in the Container DN edit box.

      To get the DN of an AD objects, right-click the object you need in the Adaxes Administration Console. In the context menu, open the submenu of the Copy item, and click Copy DN. The DN of the selected Active Directory object will be copied to the clipboard.
      Container DN can be composed using value references. For example, you can specify the following value here: OU=%department%,DC=company,DC=com. In this case, the %department% value reference will be replaced with the Department property of the user, who performs the action. So, when a user, whose department is Sales, performs the action, the Container DN will be set to OU=Sales,DC=company,DC=com.
    • To allow users to move only on the Active Directory objects of specific types, select the Allow selecting only AD objects of specific types option. In the list below, check the object types you need.

    • To allow users to move only the Active Directory objects that match a specific LDAP filter, enable the When selecting the target OU or container, display only objects that match the specified LDAP filter option.

      To construct an LDAP filter, you can use the LDAP Filter Builder. To access it, click Find on the toolbar in the Adaxes Administration Console, activate the LDAP Search tab, and click the embedded button in the Enter LDAP filter field.

    Click Next.

  8. After users have selected the Active Directory objects they want to move, they will need to choose the target Organizational Unit or container where the selected objects will be moved. On this wizard step, you can configure options for choosing the target location for the selected objects:

    • To allow users to select only OUs or containers located under a specific OU/container, enable the Allow selecting only OUs/containers located under option. In the Container DN edit box, specify the DN (Distinguished Name) of the OU or container you need.

      To get the DN of an AD objects, right-click the object you need in the Adaxes Administration Console. In the context menu, open the submenu of the Copy item, and click Copy DN. The DN of the selected Active Directory object will be copied to the clipboard.
      Container DN can be composed using value references. For example, you can specify the following value here: OU=%department%,DC=company,DC=com. In this case, the %department% value reference will be replaced with the Department property of the user, who performs the action. So, when a user, whose department is Sales, performs the action, the Container DN will be set to OU=Sales,DC=company,DC=com.

      If you want to allow users to select only child OUs/containers of the OU/container specified in the Container DN edit box, but not this OU/container itself, enable the Disallow selecting this OU/container option.

    • To make a specific Organizational Unit or container pre-selected by default, enable the Select specific AD container or OU by default option. In the Container DN edit box, specify the DN (Distinguished Name) of the OU or container that you want to be selected by default.

    • If you don't want users to be able to select the target OU or container, enable the Always use this OU/container option. In this case, the selected objects will always be moved to the container or Organizational Unit specified in the Container DN edit box, and users won't be able to select another one.

    • To allow selecting only Organizational Units as target location, enable the Allow selecting only OUs option. In this case, other Active Directory containers will not be displayed to users.

    • To allow users to select as target location only Organizational Units that match a specific LDAP filter, enable the When selecting the target OU or container, display only objects that match the specified LDAP filter option.

      To construct an LDAP filter, you can use the LDAP Filter Builder. To access it, click Find on the toolbar in the Adaxes Administration Console, activate the LDAP Search tab, and click the embedded button in the Enter LDAP filter field.

    Click Finish.

  9. Click Apply two times.
