NetScaler Insight Center 10.5 introduced the ability to configure alternate forms of authentication, such as RADIUS, LDAP, and TACACS.\u00a0 Using alternate authentication sources can ease administration of NetScaler Insight Center and provide a more robust solution for those looking to get the most out of their investment in NetScaler Insight Center.<\/p>\n

To configure external authentication, log into NetScaler Insight Center as an administrator (nsroot\/nsroot by default).<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a>Click the authentication type.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be using LDAP to authenticate directly to Active Directory.<\/p>\n

Click \u201cAdd\u201d\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a>Fill in the required parameters.\u00a0 The \u201cbase DN\u201d can begin at the domain root, as shown here.\u00a0 You can optionally configure LDAPS over port 636 if your organizational policies require it.<\/p>\n

Now that an LDAP server is configured, we must specify the group names and roles.\u00a0 Click User Administration, Groups, then Add.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Add a group with the same name<\/strong> as one in Active Directory.\u00a0 The users must be a direct member if you did not configure nested group extraction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, we enable authentication by clicking \u201cAuthentication\u201d then \u201cAuthentication Configuration\u201d and changing the server type to \u201cLDAP\u201d<\/p>\n

If you need to troubleshoot external authentication in NetScaler Insight Center, use an SSH client to connect to the appliance, then use \u201ccat \/tmp\/aaad.debug\u201d in shell mode.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
