User management

DC Netscope embeds Keycloak to manage the users, their authentication and their rights. You can create local accounts, or delegate the users to a directory: LDAP, Active Directory, or an OpenID provider.

Opening Keycloak

Go to the Users management section of the administration interface:

Log in with the administrator account, then choose the easyvirt realm, which holds the users of DC Netscope:

Connecting an Active Directory

As an example, take an Active Directory with:

• the address 192.168.4.17,
• its users in CN=Users,DC=easyvirt,DC=local,
• an administrator account CN=Admin,CN=Users,DC=easyvirt,DC=local.

In User federation, click Add LDAP providers, and choose Active Directory as the Vendor. Then:

1. Give the address of the Active Directory. Click Test connection to check it.

   

2. Give the account Keycloak logs in with. Click Test authentication to check it.

   

3. Tell where the users of DC Netscope are.

   

4. Import the users. At the top of the page, open Action and choose Sync all users.

   

   Keycloak confirms the synchronization:

   

5. Check the users. They are listed in the Users section.
