One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions 6.0.2 - Administration Guide

Network Level Authentication (NLA) with domain membership

To use Credential Security Service Provider (CredSSP, also called Network Level Authentication or NLA) when One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) is member of the domain. If you cannot or do not want to join SPS to the domain, see "Network Level Authentication without domain membership" in the Administration Guide.

To use NLA with domain membership

1. Navigate to RDP Control > Settings, and select the Enable Network Level Authentication option. (If you will have connections that will not use Network Level Authentication, create a separate RDP Settings policy).

2. Navigate to RDP Control > Domain membership.

3. Enter the name of the domain (for example mydomain) into the Domain field.

   Figure 178: RDP Control > Domain membership — Joining a domain

   

4. Enter the name of the realm (for example mydomain.example.com) into the Full domain name field.

   NOTE: Ensure that your DNS settings are correct and that the full domain name can be resolved from SPS. To check this, navigate to Basic Settings > Troubleshooting > Ping, enter the full domain name into the Hostname field, and select Ping host.

5. Click .

6. Click Join domain. A pop-up window is displayed.

7. SPS requires an account to your domain to be able to join the domain. Enter the following information:

   • The name of the user into the Username field.

   • The password into the Password field.

     NOTE: One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) accepts passwords that are not longer than 150 characters. The following special characters can be used: !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^-`{|}

   • The name of your domain controller into the Domain controller field. If you leave this field blank, SPS tries to find the domain controller automatically.

     NOTE: Ensure that your DNS settings are correct and that the hostname of the domain controller can be resolved from SPS. To check this, navigate to Basic Settings > Troubleshooting > Ping, enter the name of the domain controller into the Hostname field, and select Ping host.

   • The organizational unit (OU) into the Organization unit field.

     The OU string reads from top to bottom without RDNs, and is delimited by a '/'. Note that '\' is used for escape by both the shell and ldap, so it may need to be doubled or quadrupled to pass through, and it is not used as a delimiter.

8. Click Join domain.

9. If successful, SPS displays the name of the domain it joined.

   NOTE: If you need SPS to leave the domain for some reason, click Leave domain.
