Import user information manually

Import user information manually

You can import user information manually by specifying criteria to identify the users you want to import.

1.
Go to the Users page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Settings, then click Users.
c.
Select Choose Action > Import Users.
2.
Provide the following information:
* 
NOTE: Use the LDAP Browser to specify the Search Base DN and Search Filter. See Use the LDAP Browser.

Option

Description

Server

The IP address or the hostname of the LDAP server. If the IP address is not valid, the appliance waits to timeout, resulting in login delays during LDAP authentication.

* 
NOTE: To connect through SSL, use an IP address or hostname. For example: ldaps://hostname.

Port

The LDAP port number, which is usually 389 (LDAP) or 636 (secure LDAP).

Base DN

The criteria used to search for accounts.

This criteria specifies a location or container in the LDAP or Active Directory structure, and the criteria should include all the users that you want to authenticate. Enter the most specific combination of OUs, DCs, or CNs that match your criteria, ranging from left (most specific) to right (most general). For example, this path leads to the container with users that you need to authenticate:

OU=end_users,DC=company,DC=com.

* 
NOTE: Use the LDAP Browser to specify the Search Base DN and Search Filter. Use the LDAP Browser.

Advanced Search

The search filter. For example:

(&(sAMAccountName=KBOX_USERNAME)(memberOf=CN=financial,DC=example,DC=com))

Login

The credentials of the account the appliance uses to log in to the LDAP server to read accounts. For example:

LDAP Login:CN=service_account,CN=Users,

DC=company,DC=com.

If user name and password are not provided, the tree lookup is not performed. Each LDAP Label can connect to a different LDAP or Active Directory server.

Password

The password of the account the appliance uses to log in to the LDAP server.

3.
Specify the LDAP attributes to import.

Option

Description

Attributes to retrieve

Specify the LDAP attributes to retrieve. For example:

sAMAccountName, objectguid, mail, memberof, displayname, sn, cn, userPrincipalName, name, description, manager

The LDAP attributes specified in this field can be mapped to appliance User attributes on the next page. If this field is blank, the appliance retrieves all LDAP attributes. Leaving this field blank increases the time required to import attributes and is not recommended.

* 
IMPORTANT: To retrieve the manager object associated with the user, you must add the manager attribute to the list, and to specify this mapping in a later step.

Label Attribute

Enter a label attribute. For example: memberof.

This setting returns a list of groups this user is a member of. The union of all the label attributes forms the list of labels you can import. If the search filter contains both the label names and user names, the label attribute is not required.

Label Prefix

Enter the label prefix. For example: ldap_

The label prefix is a string that is added to the beginning of all the labels.

Binary Attributes

Enter the binary attributes. For example: objectsid.

Binary attributes indicates which attributes should be treated as binary for purposes of storage.

Maximum Number of Rows

Enter the maximum number of rows to retrieve. This limits the result set that is returned in the next step.

Debug Output

Select the check box to view the debug output.

4.
Click Next.

About single sign on (SSO)

About single sign on (SSO)

Using external LDAP or Active Directory servers for single sign on

Single sign on enables users who are logged on to the domain, or authenticated through a third-party, to access the appliance Administrator Console and User Console without having to re-enter their credentials on the appliance login page.

You can use Active Directory for single sign on.

Single sign on is available for:

•
One domain only: If you have multiple domains, only one can be enabled for single sign on. This is true even if the Organization component is enabled on the appliance, and you have multiple organizations that are on different domains. Single sign on is a System-level configuration, and organizations cannot be configured independently for single sign on.
•
Microsoft Active Directory servers: You can enable single sign on using Microsoft Active Directory servers with 2003 R2 or higher schema versions. Earlier schema versions cannot be used. If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, the Active Directory single sign on method can be used with multiple organizations.

Using external LDAP or Active Directory servers for single sign on

Using external LDAP or Active Directory servers for single sign on

When using Active Directory for authentication for single sign on, the external LDAP or Active Directory server must have the same entries as the Active Directory server specified for single sign on. The appliance matches user credentials on the joined domain, and then it uses the external LDAP configuration to determine user roles and privileges.

To authenticate users by using local accounts on the appliance, you need to either import accounts from an LDAP or Active Directory server to the appliance, or manually create accounts on the appliance. See:

•
Importing users from an LDAP server
•
Managing System-level user accounts
•
Managing organization user accounts
