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. 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.
