Configure Active Directory

Note: The StorCycle solution uses whatever domain is configured on the server, including multiple 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 Settings screen displays showing the current Active Directory settings.

Figure 11 The Active Directory Settings screen.
2. Click Configure Active Directory. The Active Directory Settings dialog box displays.

Figure 12 The Active Directory Settings dialog box.
3. Enter the Active Directory DomainName in the format Domain.com.
4. Select Allows Anonymous Queries if the Active Directory or LDAP server allows anonymous queries. Otherwise, clear Allows Anonymous Queries and provide User and Password information.
5. Enter a User, in the format user@domain, and Password for a user authorized to make Active Directory or LDAP queries.
6. Enter the IP address or hostname for the LDAP Server.
7. If desired, modify the LDAP Server Port to connect to the Active Directory server.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Click Submit to save the Active Directory settings.
