iCOMPEL Digital Signage - User Guide (V8.1.1)
Posix Scheme Directory Note: Typically this is the "uid" attribute.
Enter the LDAP filter that will match a user object in the directory into the User Filter field. Use "%s" where ever you wish
the filter to contain the username of the user that is logging in.
Active Directory Example: (objectclass=user).
Posix Scheme Directory example: (objectclass=posixAccount)
The Scope can be set to One Level or Subtree and will limit how LDAP search for the user object starting from the Base
DN'.
The Display Name Attribute is used in the iCOMPEL banner as the User:'.
Active Directory Note: Typically this is the "displayName" or "sAMAccountName" attribute.
Posix Scheme Directory Note: Typically this is the "cn" or "uid" attribute.
HTTP Permissions
After a user has been authenticated to access the iCOMPEL web interface via HTTP, the iCOMPEL will check the
permissions that the user has.
There are four permissions that will need setting up:
Monitor Access
Access to Player Status and System Information web pages only.
System Settings
Access to the Setup menu pages and Fonts page.
Layout Manager Access
Access Layout management, Schedule, Ad hoc content design, Newsfeeds, Tables,
Colors, and Files & Folders pages.
XML Control Access
Access to the XML message interface allowing non-browser based control of the
iCOMPEL only. No Web pages can be accessed with this permission setting.
Set Monitor Access Filter, System Settings Filter, Layout Manager Filter and XML Control Filter to LDAP filters that match
if the user has been granted the corresponding permission. Use "%s" everywhere you wish the users username to be
written into the filter.
Typically the filter checks that the user is a member of a group.
Active Directory Example: Set the Filter Attribute: to dn and use this filter:
(&(objectClass=group)(member=%s)(distinguishedName=CN=player monitor,OU=Security Groups,DC=yourdomain,
DC=uk))
Posix Scheme Directory Example: Set the Filter Attribute: to uid and use this filter:
(&(objectClass=posixGroup)(memberUid=%s)(cn=monitor))
The 'Scope' can be set to 'One Level' or 'Subtree' and will limit how LDAP search for the user object starting from the 'Base
DN'.
