Connecting a remote user domain to the Flex Appliance Console

Follow these steps to connect an Active Directory (AD) or LDAP domain.

To connect a remote user domain

On the Flex Appliance Console, click the Access management icon in the left-side navigation bar to open the Access management page.
Click Connect remote user domain.
Fill in the required parameters and select the connection type. If you do not enter a Port value, the following default ports are used:
- Plain text or Plain text + TLS (encrypted): port 389
- SSL (encrypted): port 636
Select a directory type. If you select OpenLDAP, additional parameters appear. Make sure that these parameters match your LDAP server configuration.
When you are finished, click Save.
If you selected the SSL connection type, a Trust the certificate window appears. Review the certificate details and click Trust.
Note:
If you want to use an external certificate chain, you can upload it after you click Trust. When you return to the Access management page, click Edit remote user domain to upload the certificate chain. See Editing a remote user domain in the Flex Appliance Console.

Once the remote user domain has been connected, you can import remote users and user groups to grant them access to the Flex Appliance Console.
