In order to set up AD, it’s important the it’d done in the correct order. Doing it the other way around is impossible. Doing it the other way around, will not result in any damage.

Step 1: Set your site to be AD through the Media Manager

Access your MM as an admin, and go to General settings

Go to the menu point named SSO.

Set SSO type to be WindowsAuthentication

Lastly, save and press "activate".

When you see the page saying Latest is active, you can progress to the next step.

Step 2: Enable Windows authentication in the IIS

Locate your DAM Center in the IIS and expand it.

Now, go to DigizuiteCore and select the sub-application called loginservice.

Select Authentication.

In here, enable the one named Windows Authentication

Go to Application Pools and search for loginservice.

In here, click the one named yourSite-DC-LoginService-NC and press Recycle.

Error handling

If you come to the scenario where the SSO page will not load (See image below), do the following steps to reset your configuration:

Access your database, and locate the table called LoginService_SsoConfigurations.

There should only be one row in here.

Delete the row, and recycle the LoginService, in the same way as described in the earlier section.

Now, accessing the MM’s SSO configration page, should load.
