IPBrick Configuration

In IPBrick the configuration should be in agreement to the AD. It will be done in the following menu:

 Advanced Configurations -> IPBrick -> Authentication

Modify the authentication type to AD Domain Member (IPBrick Master).

In Figure 2.4, the junction will be done to an AD with the following definitions:

• Services for Unix Version: v3.5 (used for Windows 2003 R1. You must choose v4.0 if you use Windows 2003 R2)
• AD Server IP Adress: 192.168.69.28
• Netbios Domain: iporatal2003
• Realm: iporatal2003.local
• Domain Administrator: administrador;
• Password:
• Base DN: dc=iporatal2003,dc=local;
• Administrator DN: cn=administrador,cn=users,dc=iporatal2003,dc=local;
• Users search base DN: cn=users,dc=iporatal2003,dc=local;
• Groups search base DN: ou=builtin,dc=iporatal2003,dc=local

An easy way to list all the users and groups is to set the Users and Groups search base DN to the Base DN.

E.g: dc=iporatal2003,dc=local

! Attention !: This data must be the same as the one in the AD configuration. The data presented here is just an example. Please contact the AD administrator to know the correct BASE DNs, or alternatively you can obtain it through ADSI Edit.

Figure 2.4: IPBrick as AD member

! Attention !: Windows 2003 AD is usually the organization's internal DNS server, so IPBrick must resolve names there. At Advanced Configurations - Support Services - DNS - Name Resolution, the first line must be destined to the Windows server IP. The second line can be the IPBrick's localhost IP (127.0.0.1). If needed you can alter the order of the addresses.
