Using Active Directory for single sign on

Using Active Directory for single sign on

Configure Active Directory as the single sign on method
Configuring browser settings for single sign on
Unjoin the domain and disable Active Directory single sign on

When single sign on is configured to use Active Directory, authenticated users can access the Administrator Console or the User Console without having to enter login credentials.

To do so, users must type the hostname of the appliance in the browser address field. If users enter an IP address, they are directed to the appliance login page, instead of being signed on automatically, and they must enter their credentials to log in.

If you use Active Directory for single sign on, you must configure Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox browsers to use the appropriate security settings.

Configure Active Directory as the single sign on method

Configure Active Directory as the single sign on method

Active Directory single sign on enables users who are logged on to the domain to access the appliance Administrator Console and User Console without having to re-enter their logon credentials each time.

Before you connect the appliance to an Active Directory server, verify that:

•
Network and DNS settings are configured to enable the appliance to access the Active Directory server. See Change appliance network settings.
•
The time settings on the Active Directory server match the time settings on the appliance. For information on setting the time on the appliance, see Configure appliance date and time settings.
1.
Go to the appliance Control Panel:
◦
If the Organization component is not enabled on the appliance, log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin, then select Settings > Control Panel.
◦
If the Organization component is enabled on the appliance, log in to the appliance System Administration Console, https://appliance_hostname/system, or select System in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page, then select Settings > Control Panel.
2.
In the Single Sign On section of the Security Settings page, select Active Directory, then provide the following information:

Option

Description

Domain

The host name of the domain of your Active Directory® server, such as example.com.

Username

The user name of the administrator account on the Active Directory server. For example, username@example.com.

Password

The password of the administrator account on the Active Directory server.

Computer Object Container

The name of the computer object container of the administrator account on the Active Directory server.

Computer Object Name

The name of the computer object container of the administrator account on the Active Directory server.

Service Account Container

The name of the service account container of the administrator account on the Active Directory server.

3.
Click Join.
The appliance performs the following tests, which require read-only permission, to determine whether the domain is configured correctly to allow the appliance to join the domain:
◦
Check for supported operating system and correct operating system patches
◦
Check for sufficient disk space to install QAS
◦
Check that the hostname of the system is not 'localhost'
◦
Check if the name service is configured to use DNS
◦
Check resolv.conf for proper formatting of name service entries and that the host can be resolved
◦
Check for a name server that has the appropriate DNS SRV records for Active Directory
◦
Detect a writable domain controller with UDP port 389 open
◦
Detect Active Directory site if available
◦
Check if TCP port 464 is open for Kerberos kpasswd
◦
Check if UDP port 88 and TCP port 88 are open for Kerberos traffic
◦
Check if TCP port 389 is open for LDAP
◦
Check for a global catalog server and if TCP port 3268 is open for communication with global catalog servers
◦
Check for a valid time skew against Active Directory
◦
Check for the QAS application configuration in Active Directory
◦
Check if TCP port 445 is open for Microsoft CIFS traffic

These tests do not need write access and they do not check for permission to write to any directory. In addition, these tests do not verify username and password credentials. If the credentials are incorrect, the appliance might not be able to join the domain even if the tests are successful.

A message appears stating the results of the test. To view errors, if any, click Logs, then in the Log drop-down list, select Server Errors.

4.
Optional: Select Force Join to join the server to ignore errors and join the domain.
5.
Click Save and Restart Services.

When users are logged in to devices that are joined to the Active Directory domain, they can access the appliance User Console without having to re-enter their credentials. If users are on devices that are not joined to the Active Directory domain, the login window appears and they can log in using a local appliance user account. See Add or edit System-level user accounts.
