AD Configurations
Add AD Module to CC-SG
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.
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. Please refer to
Chapter
12: Configuration Manager for additional information.
To add an AD module to CC-SG:
1. On the Administration menu, click Security. The Security Manager screen appears,
displaying the General tab.
2. Click Add… to open the Add Module window.

3. Click the Module Type drop-down menu and select AD from the list.
4. Type a name for the AD server in the Module name field. 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.
5. Click Next to proceed. The General tab opens.
