Connecting to AD LDS Instance

After adding a connection to the user scope, you need to specify groups from the application directory partition that will be able to access the Self-Service Site. By default, the group “Users” is included in the scope when you add the connection to the user scope. You can also restrict some groups from accessing the Self-Service Site.

To connect to AD LDS instance

  1. Open the Administration Site by entering the Administration Site URL in the address bar of your browser. By default, the URL is http(s)://<ComputerName>/PMAdminADLDS, where <ComputerName> is the name of the computer on which Password Manager is installed.

  2. On the Administration Site, select the Management Policy you want to configure and click the User Scope link.

  3. On the User Scope page, click Connect to AD LDS instance.

  4. If connections already exist, select a connection from the list. If you want to create a new connection, click Add new connection.

  5. If you selected to create the new connection, in the Connect to AD LDS Instance dialog, configure the following options:

    • In the Server name on which AD LDS instance is installed text box, type the name of the server to which you want to connect.

    • In the Port number (LDAP or SSL) text box, enter the port number that you specified when installing the AD LDS instance. If you select the Use SSL check box, enter the SSL port number; otherwise, LDAP port number. It is recommended to use SSL in your production environment.

    • In the Application directory partition text box, enter the name of the application directory partition from the AD LDS instance to which you want to connect.

    • In the Application directory partition alias text box, type the alias for the application directory partition which will be used to address the partition on the Self-Service Site.

    • In the Access account section, select Password Manager Service account to have Password Manager access the AD LDS instance using the Password Manager Service account, otherwise, select The following Active Directory account or The following AD LDS account radio button and enter the required user name and password.

    For information on how to prepare the access account, see Configuring Permissions for Access Account.

  6. Click Save.

    NOTE: When you add an AD LDS instance to the user scope, the group “Users” from the specified application directory partition is automatically included in the user scope.

NOTE: If you have the Domain Management account configured with a user other than the Active Directory Administrator then, provide Security permissions to all the groups, OUs that are added as Included groups, and Included OUs in the user scope.

If the users/ groups/ OUs included in the user scope, are a member of Readers/ Administrators group in the ADLDS then, the Write Permissions are already inherited.
