Login and Credentials
Login credentials are user IDs and passwords that identify the user and define
the user’s ability to access the Polycom HDX system.
Setting Description
Enable Active Directory
Authentication
Specifies whether to authenticate users through
the Active Directory server. When Active
Directory authentication is enabled, users are
allowed to log in with their network account
credentials, using this format:
domain\user
With this format, users can have accounts on
multiple domains.
Active Directory Server
Address
Specifies the DNS fully qualified domain name
(FQDN) or IP address of the Active Directory
server (ADS). If you are using subdomains,
append port number 3268 as follows:
ad.domain.com:3268
(when using the FQDN)
10.11.12.13:3268
(when using the IP address)
Note: HDX systems can use the CMA or
RealPresence Resource Manager system as an
ADS. If one is deployed in your environment,
enter its address here. Otherwise, enter the
address of an ADS.
Active Directory Admin
Group
Specifies the Active Directory group whose
members should have admin access to the HDX
system. This name must exactly match the name
in the ADS for authentication to succeed.
Active Directory User Group Specifies the Active Directory group whose
members should have user access to the HDX
system. This name must exactly match the name
in the ADS for authentication to succeed.
If external authentication is not active after completing these steps, go to Admin
Settings > LAN Properties > and ensure that the Domain Name setting contains
the name of your Active Directory domain.
