Configure Active Directory / LDAP

Notes: 

• The StorCycle solution uses the domains 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 / LDAP to verify restore users are valid on the domain.
• StorCycle does not support anonymous requests to Active Directory / LDAP. In order to receive e-mail updates, users must have valid Active Directory / LDAP credentials.

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

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

3. Enter the Active Directory Domain Name in the format Domain.com.
4. Enter a User, in the format user@domain, and Password for a user authorized to make Active Directory / LDAP queries.
5. Enter the IP address or hostname for the Active Directory / LDAP Server.
6. If desired, modify the Active Directory / LDAP Server Port to connect to the Active Directory server.
7. Select or clear the TLS check box. If selected, the StorCycle solution uses secure SSL/TLS to connect to the server. Spectra Logic recommends enabling SSL/TLS. The StorCycle solution supports TLS 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2.
8. Select or clear Allow any Active Directory / LDAP user to restore. If selected, any Active Directory / LDAP 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 / LDAP users count against the licensed user limit.
9. Click Submit to save the Active Directory / LDAP settings.

Clear Active Directory / LDAP Settings
