Chapter 13 User Accounts and Groups

Note: It is not possible to combine the automatic import with Active Directory domain
mapping (see chapter 13.4) as the local user database would collide with the mapped
domain. If possible, it is recommended to use the Active Directory mapping alternative.
Manual import of user accounts
It is also possible to import special accounts to the local database from the Windows
NT domain or from Active Directory. Each import of a user account covers creating of
a local account with the identical name and the same domain authentication parameters.
Specific WinRoute parameters (such as access rights, content rules, data transfer quotas,
etc.) can be set by using the template for the local user database (see chapter 13.1)
or/and they can be defined individually for special accounts. The Windows NT / Active
Directory authentication type is set for all accounts imported..
Note: This method of user accounts import is recommended especially when Windows
NT domain is used (domain server with the Windows NT Server operating system). If
Active Directory domain is used, it is easier and recommended to use the transparent
support for Active Directory (domain mapping — see chapter13.4).
Click Import on the User Accounts tab to start importing user accounts. In the import
dialog, select the type of the domain from which accounts will be imported and, with
respect to the domain type, specify the following parameters:
• NT domain — domain name is required for import. The WinRoute host must be
a member of this domain.
Figure 13.11 Importing accounts from the Windows NT domain
• Active Directory — for import of accounts, Active Directory domain name, DNS name
or IP address of the domain server as well as login data for user database reading
(any account belonging to the domain) are required.
When connection with the corresponding domain server is established successfully, all
accounts in the selected domain are listed. When accounts are selected and the selection
is confirmed, the accounts are imported to the local user database.
