Giving secure connections to all users in a department

Problem	You want to give secure connections to the members of one department in your organization.
Solution	In Array Manager, ensure that processing of Connections settings is enabled, by checking the appropriate box on the Security panel. Then use Object Manager to configure the organizational unit object to which the users belong, so that all users in that OU receive a secure connection.

Case study

The Indigo Insurance Finance department requires secure connections for all its users, who may log in to Secure Global Desktop from anywhere.

In Array Manager, display Security properties. For Connection Types, make sure that Apply When Users Log In is checked. Click Apply.
In Object Manager, display properties for the organizational unit object, in this case o=Indigo Insurance/ou=Finance.
On the Attributes tab, choose Connections from the list.
Click New, and fill in the details for the connection:
- For Client Device, type *. This matches all client devices.
- For Secure Global Desktop server, type *. This matches all Secure Global Desktop servers.
- For Connection, choose Secure.
Use the arrow buttons to put your new connection type specification first in the list. This means that all users without more specific connection types (configured on their own person objects) will match your new connection type specification, and receive a secure connection.
Click Apply.

You can override the connection type for an individual user using the person object's Connections attribute.
To define the connection type for some types of user, you configure the Connections attribute for a profile object. For example, the connection type for all UNIX users is configured using the o=Tarantella System Objects/cn=UNIX User Profile profile object.
