Active Directory

1. Basic settings

First, configure the Basic settings.

  1. Automatic selection of the Global Catalogue Server
    • Via Automatic selection of Global Catalog Server, an automatic discovery and connection to the Active Directory via the Global Catalog Server takes place. Authentication to the Active Directory in this case takes place using the service account (changeable via tls-mgr) under which XPhone Connect Directory is running.

  2. Specification of an Active Directory or Global Catalogue Server
    • A manual configuration of the connection parameters for the Active Directory access is possible by specifying an Active Directory or Global Catalogue Server. With the selected option, logging in can be done as:

      • Anonymous access

      • Using the job account

        • (under which XPhone Connect Directory is run)

      • Stating user name and password

  3. Use secure connection (SSL)
    • If necessary, activate the checkbox.

    Hint

    If the certificate verification fails:

    • Make sure that the Windows server is a member of the domain or

    • import the certificate authority certificate under the root certificates of the Windows server.
