Active Directory Authentication (Simple)
This article covers the authentication of users over Active Directory. This is a special case of LDAP Authentication.
Step 1: Choose an authentication type
When creating a new authentication method, choose Microsoft Active Directory
from the dropdown list. In doing so, all special settings are adjusted to Active Directory LDAP.
Step 2: Setup
If your Active Directory servers are reachable by the GLaDOS server and your Active Directory Domain Name can be looked up via DNS, you can provide the Active Directory Domain Name in the Domain
field and specify a group mapping and you’re done!
If you did not change any default settings on your AD, then your users are now able to login to GLaDOS in the same way as they are able to login to a domain joined Windows machine using their
sAMAccountName
.
For the group mapping, you can optionally query for AD groups by pressing Query for LDAP groups
and providing a username and password. The dropdown lists will then be populated with the query result.
Troubleshooting
Please refer to the advanced setup if you have trouble configuring Active Directory.
