Active Directory Integration (ADI)

SMARTUNIFIER supports Windows Active Directory (AD). System administrators can use the Active Directory to add/remove users, groups, and resources quickly and efficiently through one dashboard.

AD Group Mapping

An user from AD must be added to a group that acts as a role. The role determines what permissions are assigned to the user.

The mapping between the AD groups and the SMARTUNIFIER roles is defined in the application.conf file from the conf folder.

As seen above (1) in the left side are the SMARTUNIFIER roles and in the right side, between the quotation marks are the AD groups.

The SMARTUNIFIER roles are predefined:

• Administrator - global permission

• Writer - limited permision, write and read access

• Reader - limited permision, read access

An user from an AD group will have permission based on the mapping of the AD group to a predefined SMARTUNIFIER role.

After all the above configuration is done, the user can login to the SMARTUNIFIER with the User logon name and the Password defined in AD.
