Active Directory Connectors manage OneLogin user authentication against Active Directory and provide real-time synchronization of users between Active Directory (AD) and OneLogin. Active Directory Connectors also function as the redirect service in a Desktop SSO implementation.
Below the steps to configure the Active Directory within One Login.
Select Users | Directories | New Directory | Choose Active Directory
Login to the Server connected to your AD domain, and download the One Login AD Connector Version 5. Is important that you copy the token generated. This token number will be used during the AD connector installation.
Once downloaded double click on the file onelogin_ad_connector.msi to start the One Login AD Connector installation.
Accept the license agreement and click next.
Enter the installation token. This is the value provided during the download screen.
You have multiple options to run the connector service. Select Create One Login Service Account and click Next.
Installation creates the One Login Service Account.
Now you select the Port number, by default is 8080.
Now select the shard database
Now click install and One Login AD Connector 5 will start the installation.
Once completed, One Login AD Connector is ready and you can launch the domain configuration. Click finish.
At this point now you should be able to start configuring your AD domain at One Login and specify which domain or containers needs to be synced.
You will have the capability to add more features like:
- Add Additional Active Directory Connectors for High Availability
- Configure Desktop SSO with Active Directory Connectors
