Active Directory Integration - How to add user?

[ormsbeec]

I installed and configured the Active Directory plugin, but Im a bit lost on how to let a user login via it? I added a user but there is no option to say use AD, and when the user is created it does not allow the ad password to be used.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

You have to just use a dummy random password when creating it, but then can use the AD password when logging in as them later. The logic is:
IF username EXISTS in AD AND password MATCHES what is in AD for that username, THEN log in;
ELSE IF password MATCHES what is in XI for that username, THEN log in;
ELSE fail.

So, there is nothing separate enabling AD login for a user at this time, just whether the same username exists in AD as what is in XI.

Well, it was simple enough to not make sense. It appears that the initial password configuration (for a newly added) user has to happen first before the AD credentials start working.

Once again, thanks for the help.

Yeah, it's a little misleading at the moment. I'd like to flesh out that component a bit later, but it will be a while. Glad it's working for you now.
