Configuring LDAP Authentication: Synchronizing Users and Roles From LDAP
Synchronizing Users and Roles From LDAP uses the parameters of two-stage binding, but adds a root
VX DN and a VX system DN. These enable your system to use the LDAP server to synchronize User and
Role assignments.
To synchronize users and roles from an LDAP server, you must first configure users and roles on that
server. For example, if you are using an Active Directory LDAPserver:
1. Access the Active Directory Users and Computers window.
2. Create a folder structure that is appropriate to the planned permissions structure (for example:to
mirror the geographic locations of systems).
3. Within that folder structure, create groups with names that match the names of roles in
VideoXpert.
4. Add users or other groups to these groups.
5. Save the settings and close ActiveDirectory.
To configure LDAPauthentication in VxToolbox to synchronize users and roles from LDAP:
1. Click the System tab, and then click LDAP/AD.
2. Click to select the radio button for LDAP.
3. Click to select the radio button for Two-Stage.
4. Click to select the radio button for Synchronize Users and Roles From LDAP.
5. Enter the host name or IPaddress of the LDAP server in the LDAP Server box.
6. (Optional) Click the SSL/TLS box if your LDAP server requires SSL/TLS authentication.
7. (Optional) Edit the server Port if the LDAP server is not on the default port (389, or 636 if you
selected SSL/TLS).
8. Type a distinguished name (DN) in the Base DN box.
9. Type an attribute key name in the Search Attributes box. When inputting multiple entries in a box,
separate entries with commas only (no spaces).
10. Type a value in the Superuser DN field.
11. Type a value in the Superuser DN Password field.
12. (Optional) Type a value in the Root VideoXpert DN field.

If you are setting up only one VX System, you can leave this field blank.
l
If you are setting up multiple systems, this is the LDAP container under which all of the VX
System information is stored for all of the systems. When determining which roles should be
assigned to a user, the VX System will look for group entries within the VideoXpert System
DN sub-container, and navigate up the LDAP tree until it reaches the Root VideoXpert DN
container.
13. Type a value in the VideoXpert System DN field.
This is the LDAP container for the VideoXpert System. It can be nested inside sub-containers in
any configuration. When determining which roles should be assigned to a user, the VX System will
look for group entries within the VideoXpert System DN sub-container and navigate up the LDAP
tree until it reaches the Root VideoXpert DN container.
14. Click Test Connection to verify that your LDAP connection and search settings are correct.
15. Click Save Settings.
