You need to configure Identity Server to use Active Directory as a user store or verify your existing configuration for your Active Directory user store.

  1. Click Devices > Identity Servers > Edit > Local.

  2. View configured user stores.

    If you have already configured Identity Server to use the Active Directory server, click its name.

    If you have not configured a user store for the Active Directory server, click New.

  3. For a new user store, specify the following details. For an existing Active Directory user store, verify the values.

    Field

    Description

    Name

    Specify the name of the user store.

    Admin name

    Specify the name of the administrator of the Active Directory server. Administrator-level rights are required for setting up a user store. This ensures read/write access to all objects used by Access Manager.

    Admin password and Confirm password

    Directory Type

    Select Active Directory.

    Search Contexts

    For a new user store, click New and specify the context of the administrator of the Active Directory server. For an existing user store, verify that you have an entry for the context of the administrator and add one if it is missing.

  4. (Conditional) For a new Active Directory user store, add a replica.

    1. In the Server replicas section, click New.

    2. Specify the following details:

      Name: Specify a name of the replica for reference. This can be the name of your Active Directory server.

      IP Address: Specify the IP address of the Active Directory server and the port you want Identity Server to use when communicating with the Active Directory server.

    3. Configure other fields to fit your security model.

    4. Click OK.
