Set up Active Directory sync
The DrawBridge supports synchronization of Active Directory Users and Groups.Groups to enable content filter policy assignment to AD-managed people groups (rather than network devices via IP address)
- Create a User that has access to the user and groups database (should Not be a domain admin for security reasons)
-
ToDo: inquire about this was getting conflicting data: Ensure your server supports TLS on port 389
-
Navigate to Accounts
/ Authentication Integration
(under Apps in menu tree) / Active Directory
-
Fill out the form to create an Active Directory Server record, as illustrated here:
-
Test the connection with Verify Connection Settings
in the hamburger menu. A notification will indicate whether the connection test was successful or not.
-
Trigger an AD Sync run with Sync Directory Servers
in the hamburger menu.
A notification will indicate the sync run was initiated. This typically completes within a minute, however, your environment may be different. This routine does not provide any further status notifications.
You can verify the sync is complete by visiting Accounts
/ People
and Accounts
/ Groups
/ Directory Groups
and confirm that all the Users and Groups from your AD server are now present.
