Configure Active Directory

To utilize full Active Directory functionality, when you install Safeguard Authentication Services in your environment, One Identity recommends that you prepare Active Directory to store the configuration settings that it uses. Safeguard Authentication Services adds the Unix properties of Active Directory users and groups to Active Directory and allows you to map a Unix user to an Active Directory user. This is a one-time process that creates the Safeguard Authentication Services application configuration in your forest.

If you do not configure Active Directory for Safeguard Authentication Services, you can run your Safeguard Authentication Services client agent in Version 3 Compatibility Mode, which allows you to join a host to an Active Directory domain.

For more information, see Version 3 Compatibility Mode in the Safeguard Authentication Services Installation Guide.

When running Safeguard Authentication Services client agent in Version 3 Compatibility Mode, you have the option in One Identity Management Console for Unix to set the schema configuration to use Windows 2003 R2. See Configure Windows 2003 R2 Schema in the management console online help for details. The Windows 2003 R2 schema option extends the schema to support the direct look up of Unix identities in Active Directory domain servers.
