Configure Active Directory

Note:

The StorCycle solution uses whatever domain is configured on the server, including multiple/trusted domains, to access a DNS (Domain Name System) to resolve UNC (Universal Naming Convention) paths over the domain and uses Active Directory to verify restore users are valid on the domain.

If desired, use the instructions below to configure Active Directory.

1.	Click the Settings icon (gear) in the toolbar and then select Active Directory. The Active Directory screen displays showing the current Active Directory settings.

Figure 6 The Active Directory Settings screen.

2.	Click Configure Active Directory. The Active Directory Settings dialog box displays.

Figure 7 The Active Directory Settings dialog box.

3.	Enter the Active Directory Domain Name in the format Domain.com.

4.	Select Allows Anonymous Queries if the Active Directory or LDAP server allow anonymous queries. Otherwise, clear Allows Anonymous Queries and provide User and Password information.

5.	Enter the IP address or hostname for the Domain Controller or LDAP Server.

6.	If desired, modify the Port to connect to on the Active Directory logon server.

7.	Select or clear the TLS check box to indicate whether you want the software to use Secure SSL/TLS to connect to the server. Spectra Logic recommends selecting this. The StorCycle solution supports TLS 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2.

8.	Select or clear Allow any Active Directory user to restore. If selected, any Active Directory user on the domain can restore files even if they are not configured as a StorCycle user. These users can only restore files using an HTML link.

Note:

Restore only Active Directory users count against the licensed user limit.

9.	Click Submit to save the Active Directory settings.
