Avalanche 6.1 AD integrated Login

It is bit unclear reading the Avalanche help instructions how to get a AD user to login to Avalanche 6.1 premise version and assign the permissions for the user.

I have found the following worked for me:

1.  Provide the LDAP server name

·         Go to Tools – System Settings – Authentication Options

·         Select the authentication as LDAP

·         Provide details for the LDAP server

    2. Once the LDAP server is provided, logout as the admin user and login as the AD user you want to add. Provide both Domain and login.

     3. This process will create a Normal user account for the AD user in Avalanche.

     4. Logout as the AD user and log back in as the administrator.

     5. Go to Tools – System Users. Here you will find the new user as Normal user.

    6. Click on the user to edit and directly assign permissions to the users.  

                OR

    7.  Create a new group by going to Tools – System Users – Add – User Group

·         Provide Group Name

·         Provide Description

·         Select whether users in the group will be Normal Users or Administrators

·         Select which location the group will have access to. Default is My Enterprise.

·         From the Group User List select the users you want to add to the group.

·         Set permissions for the members in the group – Profile, Inventory, Rule and Other.

·         Click Save.
