Connect to an existing Microsoft Active Directory

You connect to an existing Microsoft Active Directory by dragging and dropping an Existing User Registry(Microsoft Active Directory) component onto the PureApplication System canvas, specifying the IP address and port number of the existing Microsoft Active Directory, as well as the login DN and password, and creating four connections from the MobileFirst Server component to the Existing User Registry(Microsoft Active Directory) component.

2. From the Assets list, drag and drop an Existing User Registry(Microsoft Active Directory) component onto the canvas.

3. Specify the IP address and port number of the existing Microsoft Active Directory, as well as the login DN, Password and Domain suffix of the LDAP information provided by the server administrator.

4. To build an SSL connection with the external Microsoft Active Directory, select use SSL and upload the Server SSL certificate that supports .cer, .crt, or .txt extensions.

5. Create four links from MobileFirst Server to the Existing User Registry(Microsoft Active Directory) component for the four MobileFirst roles (worklightadmin, worklightdeployer, worklightmonitor and worklightoperator). For each link, in Mapping special subjects, we can select AllAuthenticatedUsers.
