How do I set up Active Directory?

Security Settings - Admin

Set up the interface to use Active Directory. Connect uses Active Directory as an identity provider for Connect users. Active Directory allows the application administrator to link a Connect user to their Windows username and password. When a user launches Connect, Connect looks for the user's Windows credentials to authenticate the Connect user.

The Active Directory is included in the 2023.11 release.

Setting up Active Directory

1. Open Connect System Management > Security > Modify Security Settings.

2. Set up the following options.

Use Active Directory

Select the checkbox. When this checkbox is selected, you may be asked to synchronize the active directory. Click Yes to synchronize and continue.

Allow Single Sign-on

Select the checkbox to use the user's Windows username and password to log in to Connect. When this option is selected the user will not need to enter their Connect username and password to use Connect.

Domain

Enter the domain for your organization. Contact your organization's IT administrator for the domain name.

3. Click Save (CTRL+S).

The Active Directory is set up. Next, synchronize the Active Directory to link Connect users to their Windows username and password. [More]
