Mapping of user accounts and groups from a directory service

free at the Kerio Technologies website. This application extends the directory service by

certain Kerio Connect’s features.

section.

Open the domain created within the installation by clicking on the Edit.

3. Go to the Directory Service tab and enter domain server’s information. Enable mapping by

checking the Map user accounts and groups from a directory service to this domain option.

Select Active Directory as the directory service type. In the Hostname entry, specify DNS

name or IP address of the domain server. Use the Username entry to specify a username

with read and write rights for the Active Directory’s LDAP database.

Use the Test connection button to test whether all parameters have been set correctly to

allow Kerio Connect connect to the Active Directory’s domain controller.

4. Switch to the Advanced tab. It is necessary that Kerberos realm is deﬁned in the Kerberos

5 entry on this tab. The upper-case is set automatically for the name.

Once mapping is set, open the Accounts → Users section. User list will include all mapped

users and one local account for Kerio Connect administration.

The user groups can be mapped in a similar way as users. Groups are administered in Accounts

→ Groups.
