User's Manual
NOTE: If the authentication service has trusted forests, the settings configured for the authentication service in the
Add Authentication Service Wizard will be applied to the discovered trusted forests. However, the settings for each
trusted forest can later be changed in the Authentication Service Connection Settings window.
See User Authentication Services Window on page 107 for more information about trusted
forests.
To change settings for the Active Directory external authentication service:
1. Click the Users tab.
2. Click Authentication Services in the top navigation bar. The User Authentication Services
window will open.
3. Click the name of the Active Directory (AD) service. The side navigation bar will change
to include the name of the AD service at the top and, below the name, the information you
may define.
4. Click Connection in the side navigation bar. The Authentication Service Connection
Settings - AD window will open.
5. Type a name in the Service Name field to change the name of the service that appears in
the Name column of the User Authentication Services window.
6. Type the domain name of the Active Directory service in the AD Domain Name field.
7. In the User Container field, specify the name of the container to search for user accounts.
This will limit the search scope to that container. The name may be entered in several
forms, optionally including a sub-domain. See To add an Active Directory external
authentication service: on page 84 for an explanation of the valid forms.
8. In the Group Container field, specify the name of the container to search for user groups.
This will limit the search scope to that container. The name may be entered in several
forms, optionally including a sub-domain. See To add an Active Directory external
authentication service: on page 84 for an explanation of the valid forms.
9. Specify a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Encryption mode:
• Click Do Not Use SSL to have authentication performed using unencrypted clear text
instead of SSL encryption. This method is the least secure.
• Click Use SSL in Trust All Mode to use SSL encryption for data transmission. All
server certificates will be trusted and automatically accepted by the Rack Power
Manager software for transmitting data. This SSL method provides medium security.
This encryption mode is not recommended for wide area networks (WANs).
