It also provides a comprehensive reporting tool for compiling expense reporting.

Downloading the Provisioning Admin Tool

System Requirements:

Entry in the "authorized_services" Table

In the “mandant” database, a corresponding entry for the client ID to be administrated must be available in the “authorized_services” table.

 

Column description:

• id: consecutive number, autoincrement
• mandant_id: the ID under which the client to be managed is maintained, which is usually “1”
• token: a random value that constitutes the password required for administration in the future; it should be as complex and long as possible
• service_name: Free text field for a description, for example, of the URL of the client that you want to administrate

Using the Tool 

When you start the tool for the first time, you must configure a connection to the DRACOON solution that you want to administrate.

You can configure the following settings here:

• DRACOON URL: enter the URL of the DRACOON solution that you want to administrate
• Service Token: enter the password specified under “2.1 Entry in the “authorized_services” table”
• Save connection settings: Set the checkmark if you want to permanently save the connection details

Once you click “OK”, the connection to the corresponding Secure Data Space is saved.
You can configure any number of connections.

Info: you can change the entered or saved connection details at any time by going to the “Settings” menu item.

Click the “Refresh” button to read out all the online accounts configured under the selected URL.

On this screen, you can sort all the columns simply by clicking the column headers. In addition, a filter for the various account types “pay”, “demo” and “free” and a search field that simplifies administration are provided.

If you use the “Search User” function to find a hit, the online account under which the user is created is selected in the list.

Please note that the exact user name must be entered.
