Integrating Active Directory with NetVault

NetVault installed on a Windows or Linux machine can communicate with Microsoft Active Directory (AD). Additionally, NetVault installed on a Linux machine can communicate with OpenLDAP Directory Services and Samba Active Directory. Integrating AD with NetVault enables role-based access control in NetVault. It lets users log in to NetVault using their AD credentials. It also lets AD users manage NetVault users.


	NOTE: NetVault Server supports Secure Light Directory Access Protocol (LDAPS) protocol for both Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and OpenLDAP Directory.


	IMPORTANT: During Active Directory integration with NetVault, the Active Directory service must always be available. Additionally, the NetVault Server should be a member of the domain.

Adding an AD group to NetVault and specifying privileges, levels of access, and notifications for the group ensures that members of the group have the corresponding access from the first time that they log on.

Considerations for Linux-based NetVault

Before you integrate Active Directory (AD) with a Linux-based installation of NetVault, consider the following conditions and prerequisites:

•

To let the Linux server communicate with AD, integrate NetVault with the domain controller using Samba Winbind or System Security Services Daemon (SSSD).

•

Host name of the Linux machine should be set to its FQDN. (For example, mymachine.mydomain.com)

•

Enable the use of fully qualified domain names on the Linux machine on which NetVault is installed. Short names are not permitted.

•

Samba Winbind: Under the [global] section, smb.conf must have the following entry:

winbind use default domain = no

•

SSSD: under the [domain/<domain name>] section, sssd.conf must have the following entry:

use_fully_qualified_names = True

•

On the Linux machine where NetVault is installed, to retrieve all domain controller groups, enable enumeration of group databases.

•

Samba Winbind: Under the [global] section, smb.conf must have the following entry:

winbind enum groups = yes

•

SSSD: Under the [domain/<domain name>], to retrieve domain controller groups and to fetch groups from child and trusted domains, respectively, the sssd.conf must have the following entries:

enumerate = True

subdomain_enumerate = all

•

While logging in or adding a domain user, using the DNS suffix with the domain name is recommended; for example, domain.local\user or username@dns.local.

•

When logging in using an Active Directory (AD) user on RHEL 8.x, add the following parameters, and then restart the SSSD service:

•

In the /etc/pam.d/passwd file, add:

auth include system-auth

account include system-auth

•

In the /etc/sssd/sssd.conf file, add:
