Setting Up Active Directory via the Legacy Method

1. Make sure each AD user to be used in Ektron CMS400.NET is defined correctly in the Active Directory. Remember that, when you enable AD integration, logon name and domain are copied from AD to Ektron CMS400.NET.

2. If you have multiple domains in your Active Directory Forest, decide if you want Ektron CMS400.NET to reference all domains or if you want to choose a specific one. (You will use this when completing the Domain field of the Active Directory Setup Screen.)

3. Set the following elements in the Web.config.

- For the authentication element, change the value of the impersonate attribute to false. It should look like this:

<identity impersonate="false" userName="" password=""/>

- Set the ek_ADEnabled element to true. It should look like this:

<add key="ek_ADEnabled" value="true"/>

- Make sure the ekADAdvanced element is set to false. (This is the default value.)

- Set the ek_AUTH_Protocol element to GC. It should look like this:

<add key="ek_AUTH_Protocol" value="GC"/>

- declare a domain account through ek_adusername and ek_adpassword. It should look like this:

<add key="ek_ADUsername" value="[username]@domain" />

<add key="ek_ADPassword" value="YourPasswordHere" />

Note: Before entering the password, encrypt it using Ektron’s password encryption utility. To access that utility, go to the Windows Start menu > All Programs > Ektron > current release > Utilities > Encrypt Email Password.

4. Configure the AD setup page. See The Active Directory Setup Screen.

5. Assign AD groups to Ektron CMS400.NET user groups. See Importing AD User Groups to Ektron CMS400.NET.
