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: connection to Organizational Unit "TechUser" belongs to domain itmSUITE.local 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	Mandatory. The name of current Domain connection
Host	Mandatory. Domain server address or host name
Server Type	Mandatory. Type of domain controller	AD (active Directory) and OpenLDAP are supported
BaseDN	Mandatory. 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: connection to Organizational Unit "TechUser" belongs to domain itmSUITE.local shall be inserted as OU=TechUsers,DC=itmSUITE,DC=local
Bind User	domain user login	it will be used for current connection
Bind Password	domain user password	it will be used for current connection
Active	If checked: the connection is active	Current connection can't be active until it is not checked
Sample user's login	domain user login used for check inserted parameters
Sample user's password	domain user password used for check inserted parameters
Checked	If checked: the connection has been verified

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.

Import domain user

Import of domain user can be managed in General\System\Import from LDAP with superadmin role.

Schedule Import

Import of domain user scheduling can be managed in MB (Message Bus) module and configured in Action Engine.

Use of SSO (Single Sign On)

SSO can be activated by use or protocols NTLM or NTLM2 and Microsoft(r) AD (Active Directory).
