Domain authentication and SSO
Domain connection(s) can be managed in General\System\LM Settings with superadmin role.
In tab LDAP Properties is possible to manage a list of domain connection(s). Is possile to define connection(s) related to differente domain(s) or to same domain but with different BaseDN.
| Field | Description | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration Name | The name of current Domain connection | |
| Host | Domain server address or host name | |
| BaseDN | The domain Distinguished Name | It shall contain the domain name parts separated by ",".
Example: itmSUITE.local shall be inserted as DC=itmSUITE,DC=local Shall be possible define a precise OU of domain to be considered in connection Example: the Organizational Unit "TechUser" connection shall be inserted as OU=TechUsers,DC=itmSUITE,DC=local |
| Server Type | Type of domain controller | AD (active Directory) and OpenLDAP are supported |
| Active | If checked: the connection is active |
By click on button Add New is possible to add a domain connection by filling the following properties
| Field | Description | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration Name | TBC. | |
| Host | TBC. | |
| Server Type | TBC. | |
| BaseDN | TBC. | |
| Bind User | TBC. | |
| Bind Password | TBC. | TBC. |
| Active | TBC. | TBC. |
| Sample user's login | TBC. | TBC. |
| Sample user's password | TBC. | TBC. |
| Checked | TBC. | TBC. |
A domain connection shall be activable only after it was checked: use button Check to verify it.
At click on button Check: itmSUITE will send a request to domain with inserted credentials.
If at least 1 connection is active the user with same login on domain could use domain credentials instead of user credentials.
In this case the authentication follows these steps:
- 1. itmSUITE checks if login inserted is existing in its DB, otherwise access is not allowed.
- 2. itmSUITE sends a request with pair login, password to domain controller.
- 3. The domain controller checks if the login inserted is existing in domain and if password is correct.
- 4. If domain controller response is positive: itmSUITE allows access.
- 5. If domain controller response is negative: itmSUITE checks password on its DB and grants access if check is positive, otherwise access is not allowed.
More than one connection to domain(s) can be active at the same time: in this case the above step 2 is executed on each active connection.
