Field/Item Description

server list, connection settings, sear
ch user
credentials and groups. After this action, Active
Directory users can no longer log into the SMU.
3. Congure the following settings for the connections as required:
■ Connection Attempts
- The maximum number of times that the SMU attempts
to connect to each Active Directory server when a connection fails. The default
value is four attempts.
■ Timeout for Connection Attempts - The maximum time in seconds that the
SMU waits when connecting to an Active Directory server before failing with a
timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
■ Connection Port - The port and encryption method to use when connecting to
an Active Directory server. The options are: 'port 389 unencrypted', 'port 389
encrypted using TLS (SSL/TLS connections)' and 'port 636 encrypted using LDAPs
(SSL)'. The default value is 'port 389 encrypted using TLS (SSL/TLS connections)'.
4. Enter the Distinguished Name.
This is the Distinguished Name of the Search User, an existing user that has
permission to access Active Directory. An Search User DN would typically contain
common name (cn) and possibly organization unit (ou) attributes as well as the
domain components. The domain components should match those used in the
Base Distinguished Name. An example Search User DN is "cn= ldapguest, cn=users,
dc=example, dc=com".
5. Enter the Password of the Search User (an existing user that may access the
directory).
6. There are two ways to add Active Directory servers.
■ Enter the fully qualied domain name or IP address of the server, and click Add.
■ Click nd servers. The NAS Manager lists the Active Dir
ectory servers in order of
their response time (quickest rst). If you add them in the same order, the SMU
attempts to authenticate users against the fastest responding servers rst.
Note: The DNS server or servers must be congured for the SMU
(under Name Services) for nd servers to work.
● Select one or mor
e servers and click add to add them to the list. No more
than 20 Active Directory servers can be congured at a time.
● When you are nished, click close to return to the Active Directory Servers
window.
