Prerequisites

• Administrator privileges on the Active Directory server

Locate the Active Directory integration and choose scopes

1. Open the Integrations Catalog, search for "active directory", and click ➕ Connect.

Gather information about your server

Fill out your server information. You'll find the steps to gather this information below this screenshot.

a. On Prem Server Host

This is your server's external IP address. To find this, open cmd.exe and run curl ifconfig.me/ip

b. On Prem Server Port

If you have SSL enabled on your domain controller, enter 636. Otherwise, enter 389

c. SSL Enabled On On Prem Server

Check if the domain controller has an active SSL certificate:

1. Press Windows + R, and run mmc.exe

2. Go to File → Add/Remove Snap-in...

   

3. Select Certificates from the list and click Add

   

4. Choose Computer account and click Next

5. Select Local computer and click Finish

6. Click OK to close the snap-in window

7. In the left pane, expand: Certificates (Local Computer) → Personal → Certificates

   

8. Look for a certificate with:

   1. Subject: The DC’s hostname
   2. Purpose: Server Authentication

In this case, there is no such certificate, so we will choose No. If the certificate exists, set the field to Yes instead.

d. Base DN of On Prem Server

Distinguished Name (DN) for the root of your AD domain, (e.g., dc=acme,dc=com) . To find this, open PowerShell and run the following command:

(Get-ADDomain).DistinguishedName

e. Admin Bind DN

Distinguished name of the account binding to LDAP, eg., cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=acme,dc=com . To find this, open PowerShell and run the following command:

(Get-ADUser -Identity "Administrator").DistinguishedName

f. Password for On Prem Server

Password of the account used in the previous step.
