Map selected users

All users extracted from Active Directory are mapped to IRC, by default . To enable mapping for selected Active Directory users, configure the AuthProvider.xml file and add user details in the ADUsers.xml.

Use the AuthProvider.xml file to specify if particular AD users are to be mapped or all AD users are to be mapped.

This figure displays the default setting:

ManualLookup in AuthProvider.xml

Based on your requirement, define this setting as :

XML file name and path [InstallPath]\Settings\AuthProvider.xml
Tag <AuthenticationProviders>
Node <ManualLookup>false</ManualLookup>
Configuration setting Set the value of the node <ManualLookup> to:
  • true: To map specific users
  • false: All Active Directory users are mapped
Default Value The default value is false.

To allow access to specific Active Directory users, enter the user login name details in theADUsers.xml file. During user mapping, only the users specified in this ADUsers.xml file are mapped.

This figure displays the default setting:

ADUserIDS in ADUsers.xml

Enter the user details in the ADUsers.xml file :

XML file name and path [InstallPath]\Settings\ADUsers.xml
Tag <ADUserIDS>
Configuration setting To map specific users, add the node: <ADUserID> user login name </ADUserID>.For example, if you have added <ADUserID>a</ADUserID>,   <ADUserID>b</ADUserID>. The users with the login names a and b are mapped.
Default Value This node does not exist.
Note: If the <ManualLookup> node in the AuthProvider.xml is set to true, and if no users are specified in the ADUsers.xml, only the Administrator is available on the Users and Security pages on the User Interface.
