Hi Guys
I dont really find a nice step-by-step guide for setting up Integrated Auth.
What I wanna achieve:
Have some AD security groups. Then I add these rules as roles in RDMS. In RDMS I add groups to set permissions on connections/etc.
However when I manually add AD users to RDMS and set permisions according to RDMS groups it all works fine. But when I only attach the role to the group I can login with the user but it tells me i dont have any permissions.
I already added my AD security group as security prinipal in SQL instance and RDMS database. I am able to login with all user in the AD security group with MS SQL Server management Studio. What else will I have to set up?
Best regards
Ramon
Hi,
Could you click on File -> My Data Source Information and send us the information. You will see a little envelope at the top left of the window.
Please send us this information from the user that you received the permissions error.

Thats all I get. With manual added AD users login and access works fine.
Any ideas? Would really wanna make sure this is working. Otherwise it doesnt make sense to spend 1,500$ yearly. Please let me know.
Hi,
Did you add one or more roles to the user? Is the user is member of one of your AD Group?
Our security groups are container for sessions, not people. Each folder gets sessions that have the same security requirements. You then assign each users\roles the permission they need across the security groups.

Okay let's start from the scratch:
I have two AD Groups:
Users and Admins
These groups contain my users I want to permit to use RDM.
I added these AD groups as roles in RDMS.
Then i created two security groups:
Users and Admins
These I assign my Customer container.
In the roles I configure that users with that role will have access to this security groups.
Tell me if I am all wrong here.
When I create a user manually by using active directory and add it to that security group access works all fine!
Just when I only add the role/AD group and match it to the security groups it gives me this error.
Hi,
The security groups are container for sessions. The roles are assigned to users, not to security groups.
If you have a few minutes, I suggest you to watch the RDM Security Group Management on our website

This is absolutly not what I am trying to setup. Whats the point of having active directory if I have to add every user manually to RDM?
I want to achieve the following: Having two security groups IN ACTIVE DIRECTORY. Either when they are in one group called admins - they will be able to log in to RDM and be admins.
Or they are in the group called users and they will be able to log in to RDM but only see the sessions they have permissions to this.
Let me know if this is possible. If not I can stop the evaluation at this point.
Hi,
Yes it's possible.
User in RDM are mapped to a user in AD
Security group in RDM are linked to sessions and are assigned to a user or a role
Role in RDM are mapped to an AD Group (which you seem to call security group)
So all you need to do is to create two roles in RDM with the exact AD name for the group you want. Assign the security groups to those roles. Make sure in the RDMS console that the auto create user is checked. This will add as they connect the user to RDMS and will map the assigned roles based on the AD group.
Our Business Architect is currently on vacation but he will be back next week. Perhaps we could setup a small demo if you want?

Ahhhh now I get the feature of the auto create. I thought this was to auto create users in AD there I didnt tick that. So the auto creat only creates users inside RDM?
Yes exactly. I think we should change the label. We need the user in the RDMS database to link it to the logs, store the user specific settings and link the todos.
David Hervieux
Thanks alot. Was only that tick. Runs as expected now. Just need to buy a license now :)
Great! We can still schedule a small demo if you want. you could learn some good practices. By the way I've just changed the label for Auto create domain users IN DATABASE

Hello,
I'm back in full force, you can use the http://remotedesktopmanager.com/Home/RequestDemo link to... well... request a demo ;)

You can secure access to your portal using Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA). When you use IWA, logins are managed through Microsoft Windows Active Directory. Users do not sign in and out of the portal website; instead, when they open the website they are signed in using the same accounts they used to log in to Windows.
