Under Hub Administration > Directories, you can manage the Local Directory that is used for Stratusphere user accounts, and you can integrate with Active Directory or LDAP directory servers. For the Local Directory, you can import users from a CSV file by going to the import tab.
You can also choose whether auto-registration is enabled. When this is enabled, as Connector ID Keys detect logged on users, the users are registered and tracked automatically in Stratusphere. It is recommended that you leave this setting on.
To set up integration with Active Directory or LDAP, complete the following steps:
- Go to the Hub Administration > Directories tab and click the New Directory button.
- Define the new directory by entering information or selecting options in the following fields:
- Name
- Directory Type
- Fully Qualified Name
- Port
- Security: When the Use secure connection checkbox is selected, a
(Locked) icon appears next to the Domain name on the Login page of the Stratusphere Web UI. If this option is not checked, an Unlocked icon appears instead. Liquidware recommends using a secure connection when configuring Active Directory or LDAP directories. 
- Administrator Name
- Administrator Password
- Base DN
- (Optional) Complete some or all of the fields in the Advanced User and User Group Properties and Advanced Machine and Machine Group Properties sections to set advanced parameters to limit integration to specific portions of information from the directory server.
-
- Click the Create New Directory button when done.
- After you have defined the user directory within Stratusphere, you can either perform a manual import from the directory or a file or you can set up a scheduled import. Each import brings in user and group information, which is synchronized automatically with data already in the Hub. In the case of group memberships, the user directory server is always the "authority." To set up a scheduled import, select an import frequency—Daily, Weekly, or Monthly—and set the appropriate schedule times.
