Figure 144 Specifying Advanced Values for Active Directory Server

2. Specify a port (default is 389) on which the Active Directory server is listening.
3. Optionally, check Secure Connection for LDAP if you want to use a secure channel for the

connection. If checked, CC-SG uses Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) with
Digest-MD5 authentication.

4. If using a secure connection, specify a Security Realm against which users will be

authenticated. If using a single domain controller, it will have a single realm whose name is
the same as that of the domain controller. For example, if the Domain Controller is
dc=raritan,dc=com, then the default realm will be raritan.com. If a realm is not specified, the
default will be used or one will be selected for you if there are multiple realms.

Note: You may have multiple AD servers connected in a trusted forest. Each AD server will have
a separate security realm. For example, you may have AD1 and AD2 with security realms of
realm_AD1 and realm_AD2 respectively. If a connection is made to AD1 but you want to
authenticate a user in AD2, you need to inform AD1 the realm of the user (realm_AD2) to
correctly redirect the authentication request. In this case, you need to configure CC-SG to
connect to AD1 and specify realm_AD2 to authenticate users against AD2.
