Authentication (I)
Administrator Settings > Site Settings
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 filled out in the fields below. Please
see below for more notes on Domain
authentication.
Choose LDAP. If you select LDAP
authentication, details of the LDAP server
used for authentication must be filled out
in the fields below.
Please see below for more notes on LDAP
authentication.
Server Name. Enter the DNS name or IP
address of your LDAP server. Only Microsoft
Active Directory Server is supported for 2.0
and 2.x versions of the Content Server.
Server Port. e.g. 389
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 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 define 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: &rescue=true to the
end of the Content Server URL of the browser:
Example:
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.
