Adding Users (II)
User Management (continued)
If Local authentication is selected in Site Settings ,
local users can log in to the Content Server.
Firstly, you need to ensure that local user accounts
have been created on the Content Server. You can
create local user accounts from the Windows Server
administration site in the Administrator Settings
menu.
These users then need to be added to the Content
Server database by entering their usernames on the
Add Users page. Please note that adding local groups
is not supported.
Local usernames must be entered in this format:
MACHINENAME\user.name:Display Name(optional)
Adding Users Under Local Authentication
All users with valid accounts on the Domain or
LDAP server will be added automatically upon
login if:
Domain
•
or LDAP authentication is selected
in Site Settings
and
Allow Guest Access
•
is deselected in Site
Settings .
Users added automatically will only have
privileges to view conferences they are
authorized to view (their user role will be
User ). Administrators can give users special
privileges by changing their role to Owner or
Administrator ).
Adding Users Automatically
Groups always need to be added manually
through the Add Users page.
LDAP/Active Directory groups must be
entered in this format:
@group.name
Please note that although a group is added
in this format, @group.name , both the group
name and its base DN are displayed in the
User Management page.
When adding a group, all members of that
group will be automatically added to the
Content Server on login with the privileges
you assigned to the group, if Domain or LDAP
authentication is selected in Site Settings ,
and regardless of whether or not Allow Guest
Access is selected in Site Settings .
If you add a group with Owner privileges, as
members of that group log in to the Content
Server, their accounts will be automatically
created. The User Role next to their user
name in the User Management page will
appear to be User , but they will have
Owner privileges inherited from their group
membership.
If you want all members of the group to be
Users or Owners , but some members of
the group need administrative privileges,
you can change the User Role for these
members to Admin . The highest user role will
be applied.
Adding Groups
LDAP/Active Directory users need to be added
manually through the Add Users page before they can
log in if:
Domain
•
or LDAP authentication is selected in Site
Settings ,
and
Allow Guest Access
•
is selected in Site Settings .
Adding users under Domain authentication:
Users must be entered in this format:
•
DOMAINNAME\user.name or DOMAINNAME\user.
name:Display name
Adding users under LDAP authentication:
Users must be entered in this format: user.name
•
or user.name:Display name
Adding Users Manually
When Domain or LDAP authentication is selected in Site Settings, LDAP/Active Directory
users or groups can log in to the Content Server.
Adding Users or Groups Under Domain or LDAP Authentication
Adding Users Correctly
Users need to be added to the user database
on the Content Server in order to log in. To add
users, enter one user name per line, or user
names separated by a semicolon.
