Active directory

The Active Directory connector for Elimity Insights fetches users, groups and computers from Active Directory so you can keep in control of your environment. Follow the instructions below to set up the connector for your environment.

1. Creating a dedicated read-only account in Active Directory

As usual we recommend setting up a dedicated read-only account for this connector. Make sure that authentication to Active Directory using simple bind or NTLM works as expected. Note down the username, password and (optionally) NTLM domain of the dedicated read-only account.

2. Creating a source in Elimity Insights

In Elimity Insights you can now create a new Active Directory source providing the following configuration options:

Configuration option	Description
LDAP URL	URL indicating where the connector should contact your domain controller (e.g. ldap://my-host:389 or ldaps://my-secure-host:636).
Username	Username to use for simple bind or NTLM authentication.
Password	Password to use for simple bind or NTLM authentication.
Domain	Domain for NTLM authentication; leave blank to use simple bind.
Search requests	JSON array describing which search requests to perform.
