Use SSL

Check these boxes if you want the connection from the Unified device to the Active Directory connection to be encrypted with SSL while doing authentication.

Manager Distinguished Name

Enter the Manager Distinguished Name used to login to the Active Directory server, for example, on a default installation of Microsoft AD: CN=Administrator, CN=users, DC=MYSERVER, DC=COM. Replace MYSERVER and COM with your respective hostname.

Manager Password

Confirm Manager Password

Confirm the Active Directory manager password.

User Search Base

Attribute for User ID

Whenever a user logs in, Unified Intelligence Center searches for that user in the LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) using the login attribute specified in the LDAP configuration. After the user is found, the full DNS of the user is extracted and used for authenticating the user.

The login attribute specified in the LDAP configuration will be the property against which LDAP search is issued to find the matching username. If you do not know which attribute to use, use sAMAccountName, which is the default Microsoft username attribute.

Different organizations settle on different LDAP attributes to identify the user name across the organization, depending on the tools used to administer LDAP within their organizations. This attribute allows you to customize the login depending on the attribute used. Even a custom attribute can be specified using this dialog.

sAMAccountName indicates the user attribute to search the user for is the userPrincipalName. sAMAccountName contains just the short user name. For example, jDoe for the user John Doe.

userPrincipalName indicates the user attribute to search the user for is the userPrincipalName. This attribute contains user name in the email format, in the form user@compay.com. Therefore this entire string becomes the user name and not just user. Therefore when this attribute is selected this entire form of username has to be typed in as the username in the login box.

Contact your Active Directory Administrator for the correct attribute to use.

UserName Identifiers

Users are stored in Unified Intelligence Center in the format <UserName Identifier>\<username>

The UserName Identifiers are used to identify the different kinds of users within Unified Intelligence Center. For example, local, LDAP, user-synced user, users from different LDAP domains and so on.

The username identifier has to be first declared for use in this page before it can be used. When LDAP is configured at least one identifier must be configured and set as default so that LDAP users can be identified in the system.

When userPrincipalName are used as the LDAP attribute for searching users in the domain, valid formats for username has to be supplied in the form of @company.com. Unlike sAMAccountName any identifier cannot be configured. Only existing identifiers as configured in the LDAP Active Directory userPrincipalName attribute should be configured here. Users are created as company\user.

UserSychronization brings in users in format <syncdomain>\username and collections will have users in the same format. It is therefore required that these users login to Unified Intelligence Center using the syncdomain\user syntax. To enable please add syncdomain or @syncdomain.com (if you are using userPrincipalName) to the list of valid identifiers.

The maximum allowed length of a UserName identifier is 128 characters.

set Default. (UserName Identifier)

Default identifiers allows users to login without typing the full domain identifier (<domain>\user) or the userPrincipalName suffixes to usernames (user <@company.com>) on the Login page.

It can be set by choosing one of the Identifiers from the list box and by clicking the Set Default button.

Users who need to use any other identifier can still login by typing their full identifier in the login box. For example, domain2\user or netbiosname\user, provided those identifiers have already been configured.
