Using Domain Connections

On the General Settings|Domain Connections tab of the Administration site, you can view a list of available domain connections.

To register a domain with Password Manager you need to create a connection to the required domain. When adding a domain connection you can select an existing connection or create a new one. It is possible to use the same domain connection in different sections: user and helpdesk scopes, and password policies.

The same domain connection can also be used in different Management Policies.

You can add a domain connection either on the Domain Connections tab or from the User scope, Helpdesk scope, and Password Policies pages.

Note, that when you modify the domain connection on the User scope, Helpdesk scope or Password Policies pages, you can select how you want to apply the updated connection settings: either for the specified section only or everywhere where this domain connection is used. If you choose to update settings for the specified section only, a copy of the domain connection will be created with these settings and will be added to the list of available domain connections.

But when you modify the domain connection on the Domain Connections tab, the updated settings will be automatically applied everywhere where this connection is used.

If you want to remove the domain connection from the list on the Domain Connections tab, you should first remove it from all sections where it is used, and only then remove the domain connection from the list.

Specifying Access Account for Domain Connections

Before adding the domain connection, make sure the account you want to use to access the domain has the required permissions.

The following permissions must be granted to the account in case you want to add the domain to the user or helpdesk scopes:

  • Membership in the Domain Users group
  • The Read permission for all attributes of user objects
  • The Write permission for the following attributes of user objects: pwdLastSet, comment, userAccountControl, and lockoutTime
  • The right to reset user passwords
  • The permission to create user accounts and containers in the Users container

  • The Read permission for the attributes of the container and serviceConnectionPoint objects in Group Policy containers
  • The permission to create container objects in the System container
  • The permission to create the serviceConnectionPoint objects in the System container
  • The permission to delete the serviceConnectionPoint objects in the System container
  • The Write permission for the keywords attribute of the serviceConnectionPoint objects in the System container

If you want to use the domain connection in password policies as well, make sure the account has the following permissions:

  • The Read permission for attributes of the groupPolicyContainer objects.
  • The Write permission to create and delete the groupPolicyContainer objects in the System Policies container.
  • The Read permission for the nTSecurityDecriptor attribute of the groupPolicyContainer objects.
  • The permission to create and delete container and the serviceConnectionPoint objects in Group Policy containers.
