Overview

Synchronize users and groups registered in the local Active Directory (AD) server to the Security365 management center.

**Reference:**You can only enable one inbound provisioning method. When you enable local Active Directory synchronization, other methods (SCI Server, Microsoft365, CSV directory synchronization) will be disabled.

Preconditions:

  • The local AD server must be configured and accessible over the network from the Security365 server.
  • The AD server ports must be allowed on the firewall (LDAP default: 389 / LDAPS default: 636).

Server Information (Local Active Directory Server Information)

Server Configuration

itemDescriptionInput Example
Server TypeServer Type (Non-changeable, Fixed Value)ACTIVE_DIRECTORY
Server URLAD server address (including protocol)protocol://domain:port
Base DCSearch Criteria Domain Componentdc=yourcompany

Server URL format: 프로토콜://서버주소:포트

Connection MethodDefault Portexample
LDAP (Non-encrypted)389ldap://192.168.1.100:389
LDAPS (Encryption)636ldaps://192.168.1.100:636

**Reference:**Base DC is the input for the organization's top-level domain path. For example, the domain isyourcompany.comin casedc=yourcompany,dc=comI will input in the format.


Administrator Authentication

itemDescription
Admin IDAD server administrator account ID
Admin PasswordAD server administrator account password

To change your password**[Change]**Click the button.

**Caution:**The administrator account must have read permissions for the AD directory. If permissions are insufficient, synchronization failures may occur.


Search Options Configuration

itemDescriptiondefault value
Search ScopeSearch RangeONELEVEL
Page SizeNumber of records to fetch at once50
ReferralAD reference processing methodFOLLOW
Connection Timeout (ms)Server connection timeout (milliseconds)200
Read TimeoutData Read Timeout (Milliseconds)100

Search Scope option:

OptionDescription
ONELEVELSearch only the immediate sub-items of Base DC
SUBTREERecursively search Base DC and all sub-items

**Reference:**If the organizational structure is complex or needs to be synchronized down to all subordinate OUs (Organizational Units),SUBTREESelect. The broader the search range, the longer the synchronization time may be.

Referral options:

OptionDescription
FOLLOWAutomatically follow and search referenced other AD servers
IGNOREIgnore references and search only on the current server.
THROWHandle as an error when a reference occurs

**Reference:**Connection Timeout / Read Timeout values should be adjusted according to the network environment and AD server response speed. If the values are too low, timeout errors may occur even in normal environments.


User Search Configuration

itemDescriptionInput Example
Base DNUser Search Starting Location (Distinguished Name)ou=Org1,ou=Users[ou=Org2],ou=Users

**Reference:**The Base DN is the path of the OU (Organizational Unit) where the user account is located. You can specify a sub-path that is the same as or more specific than the Base DC.


Automatic Synchronization

itemDescription
Automatic SynchronizationUse / Do not use selection
Synchronization PeriodWhen using automatic synchronization, set the time (hour/minute) to run daily.

Manual Synchronization

After saving the settings, on the local Active Directory card of the inbound provisioning list screen**[Manual Synchronization]**Clicking the button will execute synchronization immediately.

**Caution:**Duplicate execution is not possible while synchronization is in progress.

Caution

  • The network connection between the local AD server and the Security365 server must be smooth. Please check in advance whether the ports are open in the firewall policy.
  • When using LDAPS (encrypted connection), certificate configuration may be required. Please contact the responsible team depending on your environment.
  • Even if you directly modify the synchronized user information in the management center, it will be overwritten with the original information from the AD server during the next synchronization execution. If permanent changes are needed, please modify it on the AD server first.
  • If the Connection Timeout / Read Timeout value is set too low, timeout errors may occur even in a normal environment.
  • You can only activate one inbound provisioning method, and if another method is already activated, you must use it after switching.
