vSpace Management Center for the N-series

NComputing vSpace Management Center User Manual rev06.27.12.2
6.3 Configure Authentication
The Configure Authentication screen allows administrators to choose how users can authenticate to
vSpace Management Center, either through using Active Directory or another vendors generic LDAP
based directory service. This allows multiple levels of administrative access ranging from view-only
privileges within vSpace Management Center servers to full editing permissions.
Firstly, select whether or not you wish for vSpace Management Center to use Active Directory or a
generic LDAP based directory service. By unchecking the “Enable Authentication” box, vSpace
Management Center will rely on the local vSpace Management Center user accounts you create within
the User Administration section of the Settings module.
If enabled, you are given the choice between Active Directory integration or LDAP. Use the fields
provided to enter the name and location of your domain controller. Then enter the user credentials of a
valid domain admin account. Once done, press the “Save” button to the bottom right of the screen.
NOTE: The username and password are only used to verify a successful connection with Active
Directory/generic LDAP directory service.
