13.4 Active Directory domains mapping
In WinRoute, it is possible to directly use user accounts from one or more Active Direc- tory domain(s). This feature is called either transparent support for Active Directory or Active Directory domain(s) mapping. The main benefit of this feature is that the entire administration of all user accounts and groups is maintained in Active Directory only (using standard system tools). In WinRoute, a template can be defined for each domain that will be used to set specific WinRoute parameters for user accounts (access rights, data transfer quotas, content rules — see chapter 13.1). If needed, these parameters can also be set individually for any accounts.
Note: The Windows NT domain cannot be mapped as described. In case of the Windows NT domain, it is recommended to import user accounts to the local user database (refer to 13.3)
Domain mapping requirements
The following conditions must be met to enable smooth functionality of user authenti- cation through Active Directory domains:
•For mapping of one domain:
1.The WinRoute host must be a member of the corresponding Active Directory do- main.
2.The Active Directory domain controller (server) must be set as the primary DNS server.
