How to integrate Active Directory with vBoxxCloud?

Active Directory and vBoxxCloud Video.

 

Active Directory, or any LDAP authentication source, can act as a source for user accounts within the system. When an authentication source is configured, an imported user can log in to the web portal using the credentials attached to his or her authentication source account.

Note: While vBoxxCloud will successfully integrate with any LDAP authentication source, it will not integrate with non-LDAP sources, such as Azure AD. While Azure AD supports internal LDAP authentication, it does not currently support external LDAP authentication.

Additionally, when you integrate with Active Directory, agents can be silently pushed, installed, and registered to end users without needing to alert the end user. For more information about silent installations, please reference the Silent Agent Installation and Registration information.

  • Machine Method— If you use the machine method, you will first need to download (the agent) onto the server that houses the authentication source. You will then register that agent to any user within the system.

Note: When registering to a user account on a server, it is recommend that you create a dummy account. The purpose of using a dummy account is to prevent unnecessary storage usage on the local machine. A dummy account should not be subscribed to team shares, should be set to use fixed space quota of .01GB, and should be configured using a predetermined naming system (such as First Name: File Server; Last Name: LDAP).

  • Server Method— Using the server method, you can connect to your authentication source without installing an agent on the machine that houses the authentication source. This sever must be publically accessible in order to use this method.

Machine Method
  1. On the server that houses Active Directory, download and install vBoxxCloud Sync Tool.
  2. After installing the Sync Tool, register it to a user account.
  3. While still in the server that houses Active Directory, record the computer’s full computer name.
  • Click the Start menu, right-click Computer, and select Properties. The System window displays.
  • In the System window, find the informational field titled, Full Computer Name. Record the full name of the computer so that it can be referenced later.
