Active Directory
To streamline administration even further, A.I.M. supports Active Directory. By
synchronizing with an LDAP/Active Directory server, details of users (including their
usernames and group memberships) can be securely synchronised from existing
databases in order to both minimize the initial conguration as well as streamline
ongoing updates.
A.I.M. interface
A.I.M. appears in two main ways depending on whether you are an administrator or a
regular user.
• For administrators, full access to the AdderLink Innity Manager Suite is granted.
This comprehensive application shows eight main tabbed areas: Dashboard, Channels,
Receivers, Transmitters, Servers, Users, Presets and Statistics, each of which contains
numerous related pages of settings and options. The Dashboard provides a central
location from which the administrator can view overall operation, make various
changes, database backups and also upgrade the rmware of any linked AdderLink
Innity unit.
• For regular users, an efcient page layout provides a list of all channels for which you
have permission to visit. Against each selectable channel name and description, a series
of icons provide clear feedback about current availability.
Permissions
Permissions exist between Users, Receivers, and Channels.
By default, all users are granted permission to access ALL receivers.
By default, all receivers have permission to connect to ALL channels.
As shown in the introductory diagram, the missing part is the permission for a user to
access each channel.
Permissions between a user and a receiver can be applied in any of the following ways:
• User
à
Receiver
• User
à
User Group
à
Receiver
• User
à
User Group
à
Receiver Group
à
Receiver
• User
à
Receiver Group
à
Receiver
Thus, a very indirect way of granting permissions could be:
• User1 is in UserGroup1,
• UserGroup1 has access to ReceiverGroup1,
• ReceiverGroup1 contains Channel1,
• Therefore, User1 has access to Channel1 indirectly.
