Setup Guidelines
- Make sure that the users and user groups in the Active Directory are defined correctly. Remember that, when you enable AD integration, first name, last name and email are copied from AD to Ektron CMS400.NET.
- Determine which AD users and groups will be used in your Ektron CMS400.NET.
- Try to match up names. For example, if a user in Ektron CMS400.NET has the username of jsmith, but that user in AD has a username of john.smith, rename the user in Ektron CMS400.NET or in Active Directory so they match. This can be done during the actual integration, but doing it beforehand will simplify the process later.
- Determine which users should be in which groups, and make sure those relationships exist in both Ektron CMS400.NET and AD.
- If you have multiple domains in your Active Directory Forest, decide if you want Ektron CMS400.NET to reference all domains or if you want to choose a specific one. (You will use this when completing the Domain field of the Active Directory Setup Screen.)
- Determine if you want users to automatically be added at log in or if you want to manually add them yourself. (You will use this when completing the Enable automatic addition of user from AD field of the Active Directory Setup Screen.)
- Determine if you want user groups to be associated at log in or if you want to manually associate them. (You will use this when completing the Enable automatic addition of user to groups field of the Active Directory Setup Screen.)
