Integrate the Exinda Appliance with Active Directory

Using the Exinda Active Directory Connector, customers can:

• Expose Active Directory usernames in monitoring and reporting, no longer having to view users as IP addresses.
• Use Active Directory groups and usernames in optimization policies, thereby implementing QoS and Optimization Polices based on individual users or entire groups.

The Exinda Active Directory Connector needs to be installed onto a server in the network that has access to the Active Directory server. Each install of the Exinda Active Directory Connector can talk to up to 20 Exinda appliances.

Complete the following tasks to connect the Exinda Active Directory Connector to the Active Directory server, and view user names in monitoring reports.

1. Install the Exinda Active Directory Connector
