Use this guide along with the Data Tab Configuration guide to configure a SecureAuth IdP realm that uses Active Directory (UPN) as an additional Profile Provider.

  • An on-premises Active Directory data store
  • A service account with read access (and optional write access) for SecureAuth IdP

1. In the Profile Provider Settings section, select True from the Same as Above dropdown to copy the data store integration from the Membership Connection Settings section for use in profile connection; or select False if that directory is only used for the membership connection

2. Select Directory Server from the Default Profile Provider dropdown if Active Directory (UPN) is to be used as the default profile provider

  • If another Directory Server data store (LDAP, AD, others) is configured in the Membership Connection Settings section, and True is selected from the Same as Above dropdown, then those settings appear in the Profile Connection Settings (below) and must be modified to reflect the settings of the new Active Directory (UPN) data store
  • Only one Directory Server can be utilized for profile connection
  • If another directory is selected from the Default Profile Provider dropdown, then Directory Server must be selected from Source dropdown in the Profile Fields section for the SecureAuth IdP Properties that are mapped to Active Directory (UPN) fields

Datastore Type

3. Select Directory Server from the Data Server dropdown

4. Select Active Directory (UPN) from the Directory Server dropdown

Datastore Connection

5. Set the Connection String using the directory domain, e.g. LDAP:<directory>.<domain>/DC=<directory>,DC=<domain>

6. Select Secure from the Connection Mode dropdown

Datastore Credentials

If using CyberArk Vault for credentials, enable Use CyberArk Vault for credentials and follow the steps in CyberArk Password Vault Server and AIM Integration with SecureAuth IdP

With this feature, steps 7 and 8 are not required

7. Provide the SecureAuth IdP Service Account username, and it will be @the directory domain

8. Provide the Password that is associated with the Service Account username

Search Filter

9. Provide the Search Attribute to be used to search for the user's account in the directory, e.g. userPrincipalName

10. Click Generate Search Filter, and the Search Filter will auto-populate

The value that equals %v is what the end-user will provide on the login page, so if it is different from the Search Attribute, change it here

For example, if the Search Attribute is userPrincipalName, but end-users will log in with their email addresses (field= mail), the Search Filter would be (&(mail=%v)((objectclass=user)(objectcategory=person)))

Group Permissions

11. Provide the Allowed User Groups for this realm

Leave this field blank if there is no access restriction

12. Check Include Nested Groups if the subgroups from the listed User Groups are to be allowed access as well

13. Click Test Connection to ensure that the integration is successful
