LDAP Server authentication

MVP Administrators can use their company’s LDAP server to authenticate user IDs and Passwords, eliminating the need for MarkVision Client users to maintain separate login IDs and passwords for use with MarkVision Professional.

If an administrator chooses to utilize LDAP authentication, when creating a new user account they will only enter the user’s existing network login ID and leave the password field blank. Then, when a user logs into MVP, they will enter the user ID and password that they use for their company’s local network. The MarkVision Server then accesses the company’s LDAP server’s directory service and authenticates the user’s login through either a simple bind protected by SSL, or a secure bind using Kerberos.

Note: The only directory service that MarkVision Professional 11.0 currently supports is Microsoft Active Directory.

When enabling LDAP server authentication, administrators have three modes of LDAP authentication to choose from: Anonymous, simple (Default), and secure. The use of each of these modes of authentication is determined by how the LDAP server is set up. To use simple LDAP authentication, an MVP Server account will need to be set up on the LDAP server. Also, when using simple LDAP authentication to utilize SSL, select the SSL check box and then select the appropriate SSL certificate from the store to complete the setup.

If using secure (Kerberos) LDAP authentication, the need to set up an MVP Server account will be determined by the current Kerberos configuration. For information on determining the need to set up an MVP Server account for Kerberos, see your Kerberos documentation.

To enable LDAP Server authentication

LDAP Server authentication is only accessible through the Master Administrator account. If you are upgrading from a previous version of MarkVision Professional, open the User Accounts and Groups task under the MarkVision menu, or select User Accounts and Groups from the All Tasks list. Select the administrator account and click Edit.

If MarkVision Professional is being installed for the first time, the option to set up LDAP Server authentication will be available when creating the Master Administrator account.

Note: LDAP authentication works for all user accounts with the exception of the Master Administrator account. As a result, the Master Administrator account will still need to contain a password that is unique to MarkVision Professional. Make sure that the administrator password is defined before proceeding with LDAP Server authentication setup.

1Once the Master Administrator account wizard has been accessed, enter a master administrator account name and password, then click the Authenticate with an LDAP Server check box.

2Select the authentication mechanism to be used from the drop-down list. The options are Anonymous, Simple, and Secure.
