Authentication (I)
Authentication. Choose the authentication
method for the Content Server.
Choose Local. If you select local
authentication, only users with valid local
accounts who have been added through
the User Management page will be able to
log in. Local groups are not supported.
Choose Domain. If you select domain
authentication, the Content Server must
be added to the domain, and details of
the LDAP server used for authentication
must be lled out in the elds below.
Please see the sidebar to the right for
more notes on domain authentication.
Choose LDAP. If you select LDAP
authentication, details of the LDAP server
used for authentication must be lled out
in the elds below.
Please see the sidebar to the right for
more notes on LDAP authentication.
Server address. Enter the DNS name or IP
address of your LDAP server. Only Microsoft
Active Directory Server is supported for 3.0
and 2.x versions of the Content Server.
Port. Port 389 is the default port for
most Domain Controllers. Global Catalog
Servers may use port 389 or 3268.
Both LDAP and Domain authentication methods require the
details of a Microsoft Active Directory Server to be entered in the
Authentication section. At this time, only Microsoft Active Directory
Server is supported by the TANDBERG Content Server.
Clicking on the Save button (see Site Settings) will perform a check of the
LDAP server settings as the Content Server attempts to bind to the LDAP
server. Changes to Site Settings will not be saved if the LDAP settings
entered are incorrect.
Domain Authentication
Domain authentication can only be used if the Content Server has been
added to the domain. If you add the Content Server to an existing domain,
you need to dene a separate security policy for the server, otherwise the
existing security policies may prevent the server from functioning correctly.
Please contact your authorized TANDBERG reseller or partner for details of
the recommended security policy settings.
Under Domain authentication, users with domain accounts and local
users are able to log in. The local administrator account can be used to
administer the server, or some domain users can be given administrative
privileges.
LDAP Authentication
LDAP authentication does not require the Content Server to be added to a
domain.
Before changing authentication from local to LDAP, the local administrator
must add at least one LDAP user with administrative privileges to the
Content Server. To do this, go to User Management > Add Users and enter
at least one valid username in the Add Administrators section.
Under LDAP authentication local users cannot log in using the standard
login method. However, the local administrator can log in by adding the
following string: #page:login&rescue:true to the end of the Content Server
URL of the browser:
Example: The URL will look something like:
http://<ContentServerIPaddress>/tcs/#page:login&rescue:true
Hit the Enter key on your keyboard and log in with the local administrator
account in the resulting pop-up window.
While it is possible for the local administrator to login using this method, it
is more convenient to give an LDAP user account administrative privileges.
