ZENworks Reporting require two hard disks. One hard disk of size 60 GB is pre-configured with the Appliance that contains the operating system and the other hard disk of size minimum 15 GB should be added for the ZENworks data.

Depending on your requirement, you can increase the pre-configured disk space after deploying ZENworks Reporting Appliance.

User Source

ZENworks Reporting can be configured to use Microsoft Active Directory or Novell e-Directory user source.

User with LDAP credentials can log in to ZENworks Reporting. User management is not possible through the ZENworks Reporting server.

  • Supported Authoritative User Sources

    • Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 or 8.8

    • Microsoft Active Directory (as shipped with Windows 2000 SP4 or later)

  • LDAP user access: ZENworks Reporting requires user with minimum Read-only access to the LDAP directory

  • LDAP Authentication: Simple bind authenticates the user, and allows user to access the application.
