Configuring Active Directory Moderator Mode
VIA Connect
enables you to import users from an Active Directory without having to create
them in the Gateway Management Pages. The Active Directory must be organized into two
sets of users: one that has permission to become moderator and one that does not have
moderator permission. When using Active Directory, only users that are in the directory can
join a VIA meeting.
You can use Groups or OUs (Organizational Units) to divide the moderator and
participant/non-moderator set of users.
Do not use Groups or OUs that have any employee in common. If there is overlap of users in
your existing Groups, you will have to create new Groups for this purpose.
To configure Active Directory Moderator Mode:
1. Click the
Activate Moderator Mode
switch and select
Active Directory
.
The Active Directory settings appear.
2. In the
Active Directory Domain
text box
,
enter the Active Directory domain name.
3. Select User principal name or Same account name.
4. Select the
Group Based
or
OU Based
radio button as per your Active Directory
configuration.
5. Based on the above selection, type the name of the Moderator and Participant
Group/OU in their respective boxes.
Active Directory Moderator Mode is configured.
VIA Connect
does not discover and connect to the Active Directory; rather it relies on you to
correctly enter the details. If there is a typographical error in any of the fields, the users
(Moderators and Participants) cannot log in.
For further details, refer to
“VIA Integration into DNS and Microsoft Active Directory” white
paper.
