Active Directory

Integration of the BrickStor SP with an existing Active Directory (AD) domain provides centralized authentication and consistent access control across the environment. This section describes the procedure required to join the BrickStor SP to an AD domain. Upon successful domain enrollment, domain users and groups can be granted access to shared resources using the organization’s existing identity infrastructure.

Prerequisites

Before the BrickStor SP can be integrated into an existing Active Directory domain, the following prerequisites must be met:

  • Configure DNS. Having two or more domain controllers is recommended for resiliency.

  • Configure NTP. Time services across the domain need to be synchronized.

  • Must know the domain name to be joined.

  • The BrickStor SP hostname must be configured in AD/DNS with both forward and reverse lookup records.

  • The BrickStor SP must be configured with a static IP address or a DHCP reservation to ensure the IP address does not change.

  • User account with domain join privileges.
