Linking an Active Directory

This guide explains how to setup a link between Topicus KeyHub and an Active Directory. This AD can then be used for dynamic and static account provisioning.

Configuration details

In this example we used the configuration below. You should replace this with the details for your configuration.

A guide on how to prepare your AD can be found here: prepare AD

  You need a group in KeyHub to connect to your application. See how to create a group here

Step 5

  • Done. Your linked Active Directory is ready for use.

  Because the group is provisioned dynamically by default it will appear on your dashboard where you can activate the group. If you want the group to be always 'on' you need to provision it statically. You can find how here.
