Add or edit the Active Directory connection

Use directory services to add Active Directory (AD) users to the appliance user groups and assign privileges as required.

Prerequisites

If RSA SecurID authentication is required on Active Directory users, ensure that the active directory groups are integrated with the RSA server.

Steps

  1. Click Application Settings > Users > Directory Services, and then click Add.
  2. In the Connect to Directory Service dialog box, by default, AD is selected to indicate that the directory type is Active Directory (AD):
    To create an LDAP user group by using Directory Services, see Add or edit LDAP connection.
    1. In the Directory Name box, enter the name for the AD directory.
    2. Select the domain controller Lookup method:
      • DNS: In the Method box, enter the domain name to query DNS for the domain controller.
      • Manual: In the Method box, enter the FQDN or the IP address of the domain controller. For multiple servers, you can use a comma-separated list with a maximum of three servers.
    3. In the Group Domain box, enter the group domain as suggested in the tooltip syntax.
  3. In the Advanced Options section:
    1. In the Server Port field, Global Catalog Address port number 3269 is populated by default. For the domain controller access, enter 636 as the port number.
      Only LDAPS ports are supported.
    2. Enter the Network Timeout and Search Timeout duration in seconds. The maximum timeout duration that is supported is 300 s.
      To avoid timeouts when using Manual Lookup on multiple domain controllers, ensure that the cumulative Search Timeout value does not exceed the Network Timeout value.

      For example, for a list of three domain controllers, and a Network Timeout value of 300 s, the Search Timeout must not exceed 100 s.

    3. To upload an SSL certificate, select Certificate Validation and click Select a file. The certificate should be a root CA Certificate encoded in Base 64 format.
    The Test connection tab is displayed.
  4. Click Test connection.
  5. In the dialog box, enter the username and password of the domain to be connected to.
    The username must be entered in either the UPN (username@domain) or in the NetBIOS (domain\username) format.
  6. Click Test connection.
    In the Directory Service Information dialog box, a message is displayed to indicate a successful connection.
  7. Click Ok.
  8. Click Finish.

Results

A job is created and run to add the requested directory in the Directory Services list.

Editing Active Directory (AD) groups to be used with Directory Services

  1. In the DIRECTORY NAME column, select the directory. The Directory Service properties are displayed in the right pane.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. In the Connect to Directory Service dialog box, edit the data, and click Finish. The data is updated and saved.
