The ‘Import Status’ indicator shows the status of import from the directory service. A

grey box ( ) shows that no import has yet been attempted. A red cross ( ) indicates

that an import attempt has failed. A green tick ( ) indicates that the most recent

import was successful. An orange ellipsis ( ) indicates that an upload is in progress.

Enter the IP address or name of the LDAP server that holds the required directory

service.

Leave blank to use the standard port number of 389 or enter an alternative port

number.

Tick this only if the directory service is running as an LDAPS (secure) service (see above).

Specify the base Distinguished Name for the top level of the directory service

database from which you wish to import users and groups.

The domain speciﬁed here will be passed to the directory service to identify the users

and groups that you wish to import.

Click to conﬁgure which data will be used from the Active Directory. See next page.

Click to schedule repetitive updates at short intervals or over periods daily, weekly or

monthly, i.e. at the speciﬁed time every day.

Bind as Current User - With this option selected, ADDER.NET will use the credentials

of the machine on which the ADDER.NET service was installed as the means of

binding to the directory service. In most installations, where the ADDER.NET server

machine is registered with a directory service, this option should be sufﬁcient.

Bind with username and password - If the ‘Bind as Current User’ option does not

work for any reason, select this option to specify a username and password that can

be used to bind to the external directory service. When selected, a user name and

password entry section will be displayed:

Active Directory Import

ADDER.NET can use the industry standard LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access

Protocol) to import user and user group information from an external directory

service, such as an Active Directory server. Additionally, ADDER.NET can use the

external directory service as a means of authenticating user access to hosts and

devices, and can also maintain synchronisation with changes to the directory

service. Note: We recommend that you take regular back-ups of certain folders

and ﬁles - please see Appendix 3: Backing up and restoring.

To access the Active Directory controls

1 On the ADDER.NET Manager menu bar, place your mouse pointer over

Tools and then choose Active Directory from the drop down list. The

Active Directory Update page will be displayed. From this page you can

conﬁgure the main parameters that determine access to the external Active

Directory:

2 When all details have been entered, click the Submit Changes button.

Using SSL (LDAPS and Windows)

When the ‘Use SSL’ option is selected, ADDER.NET requires that

your Domain Controller be set-up to use secure-LDAP [LDAPS].

Windows servers do not have this feature enabled by default.

For further details on this involved procedure, please refer to

Microsoft’s advice at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321051.
