About Active Directory (AD) Support
Active Directory is a domain service that authenticates and authorizes users in a
Windows environment.
- Edit the AD configuration file on the AD server to include the service user name.
- On the controller web interface,
select Administration >Administration>
Admins and
Roles > Administrators,
and click Create to create an administrator account with super as the user
name. Note: Refer to Creating Administrator Accounts. In this example, Active Directory can use User1 only.
- Select Administration>Administration >
Admins and
Roles > Groups, and then
assign an administrator role to the super administrator account. Note: Refer to Creating User Groups .
- When you add an AAA server for administrators, select
Active Directory as the authentication server type.
Note: Refer to Configuring SZ Admin AAA Servers.
- Test the AD server using the account
username@super-login.
Note: The value of super-login depends on the realm configured for the AAA profile. Refer to Creating Administrator Accounts.
