Using SAT with Active Directory

Using SAT with Active Directory

SAT allows Active Directory (AD) authentication for the sender by default (new installs). This page is for enabling AD extensions for restricting access to the SAT page; it has nothing to do with how the SAT module works in conjunction with EFT Server. SAT will execute an LDAP query against the Domain controller using the user’s identity to extract his e-mail from Active Directory. Typically, this requires no special rights to make that LDAP query, because the account logged in can read the e-mail attribute. However, sometimes you might need to tweak the default parameters for this query.

If you plan to override SAT's Integrated Windows Authentication by modifying the configuration settings file's Path, DomainAdminUser, DomainAdminPass (base64 encoded), and AuthenticationMethod fields, you must also set "ConnectionSettingEnabled" value="True", otherwise those values will NOT be used by SAT.

To change Active Directory information in SAT

  1. Log in to the SAT administration interface (e.g., Start > Programs > GlobalSCAPE > Secure Ad Hoc Transfer Module > Secure Ad Hoc Administration).

  2. In the left navigation page, click AD Extensions. The AD Extensions page appears.

  3. Edit the settings as needed:

  4. Click Save to save your changes on the Server.
