ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTH_USER


dom\usr@pwd

Credentials for the user who can talk to Active Directory

ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTH_USER_<MYDOMAIN>


dom\use@pwd

Credentials for the user who can talk to Active Directory

To set up communication from the Digizuite™ DAM Center to the existing database, connection parameters (for the query user) must be specified.


Required parameters needed for ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTH_USER are:

  1. Username
  2. Password
  3. Domain server

Example: ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTH_USER = domain \ user @ pwd

2.1 Optional feature – template user to specify rights

A template user ID suffix can be added to the constant. When set, all new users validated and created in the Digizuite™ DAM Center (through the AD) will be placed in the same group(s) as the specified template user.


Example: ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTH_USER@<TEMPLATE_MEMBER_ID > = domain \ user @ pwd@ template_member_id

2.2 Optional feature – multiple domain support


In case the Digizuite™ DAM Center should be able handle more than one domain, a <DOMAIN> suffix can be added to ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTH_USER.

Example: ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTH_USER@<DOMAIN> = domain \ user @ pwd@domain.com

This specifies the user to a query only against to the specified domain. Additional constants may be added to allow for multiple domain support.


Note: When using multiple domains, extended trust/bindings must be configured for the IIS server since the server can only be member of one domain.


Note: The domain must always be in uppercase letters in the Digizuite™ DAM Center constants.


Hint: Optional features can be combined and should be entered as:


ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTH_USER@<DOMAIN>@<TEMPLATE_MEMBER_ID >
domain \ user @ pwd@domain.com@template_user_id
Set USE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY to 1 (this enables use of AD-validation feature for the Digizuite™ DAM Center).
