Configuring Active Directory (AD)
The Home administrator can add or remove users from the groups and assign the groups to rooms or remove from them.
Procedure
- Click the Settings tab on the Home page.
- In the Active Directory Configuration section, type the LDAP URL in the provided field. The URL starts with the "ldap://" or "ldaps://" protocol followed by the IP address or DNS name of the host.
- Type the Base Distinguished Name. The Base DN will contain the organization unit (ou) and the domain components (dc) of the domain. For example, OU=employees,DC=company,DC=COM.
- Type the user name that has access to connect to AD.
- Type the user password.
- In the Home Admin Configuration section, select the group whose members
will have the Home Administrator privileges. You can browse through both local and AD groups and
select the group that you want to assign to Home Admins Group. Note: If you want to configure both local and Active Directory users to have Home Administrator privileges, then you must first create a local group and add the local and AD users to that group, and then select that group in the Home Admins Group field. This allows you to give Home Administrator access to a combination of local and AD users.
- Click Apply. Once AD is configured, the AD users can log into Live! using the AD user credentials.
Note: Ensure that the AD server is connected when you log into Live! If the AD server is not reachable while logging in, an error message is displayed when you try to click on the rooms, groups, or users tab on the Home dashboard. For more information, see Active Directory server connection error
