Add Exinda appliances to the Active Directory Connector

Identify the Exinda appliance using this Active Directory Connector to retrieve user and group information.

Note

Each installation of the Active Directory Connector can have a maximum of 20 Exinda appliances connected to it.

If there are more than 20 Exinda appliances, install the connector on multiple Windows servers and divide the appliances across multiple instances of the Active Directory Connector.

  1. In the Start menu click All Programs > Exinda Networks > Exinda AD Configuration Utility.
  2. Switch to the Exinda Appliances tab.
  3. To add the Exinda appliances that communicate with this Active Directory Connector, type the IP Address or Hostname into an empty row, and type the Admin password for the appliance.
  4. Modify the port number as needed. The default port number of the Active Directory Client is 8015.

    When changing the port number, all Exinda appliances using the Exinda Active Directory Connector must use the same port number. See Change the Active Directory Connector port number.

  5. In the Sync interval field, identify how frequently the Exinda Active Directory Connector contacts the Exinda appliances to synchronize Active Directory user and group information. The default is 5 minutes.
  6. Click OK.
