Ensure that you have installed the AD/LDAP Connector.
For more information, see Install or upgrade inSync AD/LDAP Connector.
The following table describes the configuration process to enable the AD/LDAP Connector to communicate with inSync Public Cloud or inSync GovCloud.
AD/LDAP Connector can establish a connection to inSync Public Cloud directly or through a proxy server.
Configure the AD/LDAP Connector with inSync Public Cloud | For the AD/LDAP Connector to communicate with the inSync Cloud using a proxy server, see Configure AD/LDAP Connector with inSync Public Cloud through a proxy server. |
---|---|
Configure AD/LDAP Connector with inSync GovCloud | For the AD/LDAP Connector to communicate with the inSync GovCloud, see Configure AD/LDAP Connector with GovCloud. |
If the AD/LDAP Connector has to access the internet through a proxy server, add the proxy configuration details to the inSyncADConnector.cfg file that is located in the C:\inSyncADConnector directory.
To add the proxy server details,
Parameter | Description |
PROXY_SERVER | IP address and port of the proxy server. Ensure that the port number is for the proxy server that is using HTTP or SOCKS4 or SOCKS5. For example, 192.168.54.100:1080. |
PROXY_USER | Username required for proxy server authentication. This is required only if authentication is necessary to access the Internet. |
PROXY_PASSWD | Password required for proxy server authentication. This is required only if authentication is necessary to access the Internet. |
PROXY_TYPE | Proxy protocol that you are using. inSync supports http, socks4, and socks5 proxy protocols. |
WPAD_URL |
The URL of the WPAD location. This parameter is optional and can be used to fetch the PAC file based on the following requirements:
|
If the AD/LDAP Connector has to communicate with the inSync GovCloud, update the Cloud Master IP parameter in the inSyncADConnector.cfg file that is located in the C:\inSyncADConnector directory.
To update the Cloud Master IP,
Note: inSync Connector v5.8 and above for inSync GovCloud is FIPS 140-2 Compliant.
To generate a registration key for the AD/LDAP Connector,
To register the AD/LDAP Connector,
You can verify the connection status of the installed and configured AD/LDAP Connector on the Settings > Connectors. Upon successful registration, the Connection Status appears as Connected.
Note: Do not regenerate the registration key after the AD/LDAP Connector is registered. If you regenerate the key, the existing registration key is deactivated.
Once configured, inSync tracks the inSync Connector status dynamically. You can navigate to the > inSync Settings > Connectors to verify the AD/LDAP Connector status whenever required. inSync also raises alerts on the inSync Management Console and sends alert notifications whenever a AD/LDAP Connector is in Not Connected state.
On the contrary, Druva recommends to avoid checking the connector status from its host as it displays a static value and may differ from its status displayed on the inSync Management Console.
The following scenarios describe the impact on AD/LDAP Connector services if the operating system (OS) installed on a Server is updated or when a new Server is installed. Follow the recommended steps provided to ensure the inSync Connector services continue running smoothly.
When OS on a Server is updated
Follow the steps given below to ensure the AD/LDAP Connector services do not get disrupted if the operating system on the Server gets updated:
When a new Server is installed
Follow the steps given below to ensure the AD/LDAP Connector services continue working fine after installing the AD/LDAP Connector on the new Server:
To delete an AD/LDAP Connector
Connection to the AD/LDAP associated with this AD/LDAP Connector is released. inSync stops auto-import of users through this AD/LDAP Connector.
