7. In the User Container field, specify the name of the container to search for user accounts. This
will limit the search scope to that container. The name may be entered in several forms,
optionally including a sub-domain. See To add an Active Directory external authentication
service: on page 63 for an explanation of the valid forms.
8. In the Group Container field, specify the name of the container to search for user groups. This
will limit the search scope to that container. The name may be entered in several forms,
optionally including a sub-domain. See To add an Active Directory external authentication
service: on page 63 for an explanation of the valid forms.
9. Specify a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Encryption mode:
• Click Do Not Use SSL to have authentication performed using unencrypted clear text
instead of SSL encryption. This method is the least secure.
• Click Use SSL in Trust All Mode to use SSL encryption for data transmission. All server
certificates will be trusted and automatically accepted by the DSView 3 software for
transmitting data. This SSL method provides medium security.
This encryption mode is not recommended for wide area networks (WANs).
• Click Use SSL in Certificate-based Trust Mode to use SSL encryption for data
transmission. The DSView 3 software will approve the server and then the certificate
before transmitting data. This SSL method provides maximum security.
10. Click Use an Active Directory Global Catalog to have the AD service access the global catalog
for the specified domain name.
11. Click Use Kerberos for User Authentication to use the Kerberos protocol for authentication
requests, including the browsing. If enabled, you must use DES encryption types for this
account. If an account was created prior to Active Directory, the user's password must be
changed after this setting is changed. In addition, the Active Directory server addresses must
be resolvable to their host names via DNS.
When this is not checked, the LDAP protocol will be used.
12. Click Save to save your changes.
• If you selected Use SSL in Certificate-based Trust Mode, the Certificates heading will
appear in the side navigation bar. Go to step 13.
• If you selected Do Not Use SSL or Use SSL in Trust All Mode, go to step 16.
13. Click Certificates. The Authentication Service Certificate Management - AD window will
open and list all servers that in the domain. A status of Trusted indicates the certificate is
trusted, based on the certificate policy (see System certificate policy and trust store on
page 26); Untrusted indicates the certificate cannot be trusted.
14. To register certificates:
a. To select one or more certificates, click the checkbox to the left of the server IP addresses.
To select all certificates on the page, click the checkbox to the left of the IP
Address heading.
