Requirements if EUM is storing users in Active Directory

|
Published

If you are storing the extranet users in Active Directory, then there are 2 accounts that need access to the Extranet Active Directory.

  1. The App Pool Identity for the Landing/LandingAdmin sites
  2. The NetworkService account that Identity Server runs under.

Or if you wish to specify a username for the LDAP connection, during installation, then only that specific account will need delegated access in Active Directory.

A specific OU or CN should be created in Active Directory to hold the managed users and groups.
“EumUsers” is recommended, if you don’t have a specific name that is better.

It is best to have the security delegated before starting the installation.
