15.3 Local user database: external authentication and import of accounts

Figure 15.10
Configuration of automatic import of user accounts from Active Directory
The other option (specification of a controller) is recommended for domains with one server
only (speeds the process up).
It is also necessary to enter login data of a user with read rights for the
Active Directory
database (any user account belonging to the corresponding domain).
Note:
It is not possible to combine the automatic import with
Active Directory
domain map-
ping (see chapter
) as the local user database would collide with the mapped domain. If
possible, it is recommended to use the
Active Directory
mapping alternative.
Manual import of user accounts
It is also possible to import special accounts to the local database from the
Windows NT
do-
main or from
Active Directory
. Each import of a user account covers creating of a local account
with the identical name and the same domain authentication parameters. Specific
WinRoute
parameters (such as access rights, content rules, data transfer quotas, etc.) can be set by using
the template for the local user database (see chapter
) or/and they can be defined individ-
ually for special accounts. The
Windows NT / Active Directory
authentication type is set for all
accounts imported..
Note:
This method of user accounts import is recommended especially when
Windows NT
domain is used (domain server with the
Windows NT Server
operating system). If
Active Direc-
tory
domain is used, it is easier and recommended to use the transparent support for
Active
Directory
(domain mapping — see chapter
).
