VideoXpert® Professional v 3.17 Operations Manual
C6601M-S | 06/22 59
Note:Permissions for each role must still be configured in the Roles and Permissions tab of
VxToolbox.
Here is an example of configuring LDAPauthentication in VxToolbox to synchronize users and roles from
LDAP.
The following users exist in your Active Directory system:
l
Joe Jones (username=joe)
l
Mary Smith (username=mary)—belongs to the AD group “Directors – West Region”
You have these four systems:
l
Log Angeles
l
San Francisco
l
New York
l
Boston
You want to ensure that:
l
All Directors for the West Region can log in to systems in the West Region, with permission to
view live and recorded video for all cameras
l
Joe Jones can log in to the New York system ONLY, and add devices and users to that system
You create the following roles with the following permissions on their VX systems, using VxToolbox:
l
Directors: “View Video Sources” and “View Recorded Video”
l
SysAdmins: “Manage User Acocunts” and “Manage Cameras & Recorders”
You decide to store information about all of your VideoXpert systems under the following Root DN in AD:
l
OU=VideoXpert,DC=example,DC=com
Under the root DN in AD,you create the following container entities:
l
OU=New York,OU=East Region,OU=VideoXpert,DC=example,DC=com
l
OU=Boston,OU=East Region,OU=VideoXpert,DC=example,DC=com
l
OU=Los Angeles,OU=West Region,OU=VideoXpert,DC=example,DC=com
l
OU=San Francisco,OU=West Region,OU=VideoXpert,DC=example,DC=com
Next, you create the following group entities:
l
CN=Directors,OU=West Region,OU=VideoXpert,DC=example,DC=com
–
You add the existing AD group “Directors – West Region” to this group.
l
CN=SysAdmins, OU=New York,OU=East Region,OU=VideoXpert,DC=example,DC=com
–
You add user “Joe Jones” to this group.
Finally, in VxToolbox, you:
l
Enable “LDAP users and roles” on all 4 VX systems.
l
Set the root DN to OU=VideoXpert,DC=example,DC=com on all 4 VX systems.
l
Set the system DN to:
–
OU=New York, etc. on the New York system
–
OU=Boston, etc. on the Boston system
