54 DSView Installer/User Guide
NOTE: The DSView software obtains external group membership and external user information when a user
logs in. If a user’s group membership changes or the user is deleted externally, the DSView software will not see
these changes until the next time the user logs in.
The User Authentication Services window may be customized by using the Customize link. See
Using the Customize link in windows on page 14 for more information.
You may schedule a task that will automatically verify LDAP and Active Directory external
authentication servers to ensure that accounts are still valid. See Managing Tasks on page 244 for
more information.
To display configured authentication services:
1. From the DSView Explorer, click the Users tab.
2. From the top navigation bar, click Authentication Services. The User Authentication Services
window will open.
To add an Active Directory external authentication service:
NOTE: Only User Administrators and DSView software administrators may add authentication services.
1. From the User Authentication Services window, click Add. The welcome window of the Add
Authentication Service Wizard will appear. Click Next.
2. The Provide Authentication Service Name and Type window will open.
a. Type a name for the external authentication service.
b. Select Active Directory from the drop-down menu.
c. Click Next.
3. The Specify Active Directory Connection Settings window will open.
a. Type the Active Directory domain name for the domain you wish to add in the AD
Domain Name field.
b. In the User Container field, specify the name of the container to search for user accounts.
This will limit the search scope to that container. The name may be entered in several
forms, optionally including a sub-domain. Valid forms are explained below by example.
Assume an Active Directory domain name of “sunrise.mycompany.com” with users in
subfolder “sun/myusers”. The User Container field may be entered as:
Example 1 (no sub-domain): “sun.myusers”
Example 2 (no sub-domain): “ou=myusers,ou=sun”
If users are contained in a sub-domain such as “mktg.sunrise.mycompany.com”, valid
forms are:
Example 1 (with sub-domain): “mktg.sunrise.mycompany.com/sun/myusers”
Example 1 (with sub-domain and no container specified):
“mktg.sunrise.mycompnay.com/”
