Hello
I want my individual team members to connect to DPA online portal using their individual login accounts (their login account). Can you suggest the steps using that I can achieve the task?
Thanks
DPA 10.2 has an AD/LDAP wizard. Check out more info here: Configure Active Directory or LDAP - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support
Question:
I want my team mates to use their own login accounts to connect (windows authenticated) to the DPA portal. Now, I will certainly can't use the password. I do not want to set any password for them, instead I want them to use their own password.
Is this possible to set up the accounts accordingly? Now, afterwards if they change the domain ac password, the connection should work using the credntial.
Thoughts/advise? If you have some proper documentation, would help me save my time
any advise?
Once you've configured AD and granted access to the AD security group, then it will work exactly like you state.
DPA will NOT be doing the authentication - we'll hand that off to AD to validate authentication using the AD credentials (username/password).
DPA does integrate with LDAP and AD user groups. The items in the Wizard that you are asking about here.
These are simply items you fill in to the wizard to give DPA one user that is an account that can read the LDAP or AD user groups. After this is done DPA will use this account to query LDAP or AD and you can add the groups of your users and they can use their password as normal. You will need one account filled in the above that we can use to look up if a group exists and what the members of it are. After this account is stored in the DPA file that the wizard saves to with the password encrypted it will be used to check the user groups for your users each time they log in. Hope this helps clarify.
We don't have integration of external AD/LDAP servers to the SolarWinds customer portal. Each user will need their own login for the customer portal.
Are you suggesting to create a domain group and then adding all the users in that who needs access and then adding that to the Active directory group in DPA?
Correct. You will also need to give in the wizard an account that can be used to query the groups.
One more question:
Instead of creating an AD group and adding users to it. Is this possible that I just individual users with their user ids and DPA tool can authenticate?
Is this possible. Please suggest.
No, Currently this is not possible. there is a feature request for it here.
