AD and CC-SG Overview

CC-SG supports authentication and authorization of users imported from
an AD domain controller, without requiring that users be defined locally in
CC-SG. This allows users to be maintained exclusively on the AD server.
Once your AD server is configured as a module in CC-SG, CC-SG can
query all domain controllers for a given domain. You can synchronize
your AD modules in CC-SG with your AD servers to ensure that CCSG
has the most current authorization information on your AD user groups.

Do not add duplicate AD modules. If your users see a message that says
"You are not a member of any group" when attempting to login, you may
have configured duplicate AD modules. Check the modules you have
configured to see if they describe overlapping domain areas.

Adding an AD Module to CC-SG

Important: Create appropriate AD user groups and assign AD users
to them before starting this process. Also, make sure that you have
configured the CC-SG DNS and Domain Suffix in Configuration
Manager. See

Configuring the CC-SG Network

(on page 211).

To add an AD module to CC-SG:

1. Choose Administration > Security.

2. Click the Authentication tab.

3. Click Add to open the Add Module window.

4. Click the Module Type drop-down menu and select AD from the list.

5. Type a name for the AD server in the Module name field.

ƒ The maximum number of characters is 31.

ƒ All printable characters may be used.

ƒ The module name is optional and is specified only to distinguish

this AD server module from any others that you configure in CC-
SG. The name is not connected to the actual AD server name.

6. Click Next to proceed. The General tab opens.
