Easyfile AD Sync
- Anthony Raimondo
Overview
Easyfile AD Sync is a method to access the Easyfile system using the credentials found in Active Directory. By connecting Easyfile with Active Directory, users can access the Easyfile system creating a Single Sign In environment.
Purpose
This guide describes how to set up and configure the EasyFile AD Sync System. The tasks described in this manual are the responsibility of the EasyFile System Administrator. This guide is not intended for end-users of the system. Many of the tasks outlined here assume a basic technical knowledge of the Windows operating system, networking principles and database concepts.
The process includes:
Creating 1 or more AD Groups of Easyfile users based on their cabinet access and cabinet rights.
Creating and configuring Groups in Easyfile linking to the AD Group(s) created.
Turning on the AD Sync service in the Scanpoint Service program.
Configuring AD Sync for Easyfile Web and LDAP settings
Import the users into Easyfile
Assign the users to their respective groups.
Creating and Configuring Easyfile Group(s) for AD Sync
Log into the Easyfile Administrator site and click the Groups button.
Click Add Group and give it the same name as the AD Group created. Save the change.
On the line for the group created, click the pencil button on right side. This will bring up the Modify Group screen.
Click Enable AD Sync and enter the name of the group to sync. Click update when finished.
Back on the Groups screen, click on the group just created. Assign cabinets and rights to the group. Once the AD users have been added to Easyfile, you can assign them to the group.
AD Sync Installation
Easyfile AD Sync is installed via the Scanpoint Service. Open the Scanpoint Service from the Windows Start Menu. Click the Stop button to turn the Scanpoint Service off and click Settings.
On the Settings page, click the Service tab, check the AD Sync box and click OK. An AD Sync tab will appear.
On the AD Sync tab, enter the amount of time the service is to check on new AD Groups.
Enter the URI. http(s)/server name or web address/spws/scanpointwebservice.asmx
for example,
an on premise only in house application with no remote users http://servername/spws/scanpointwebservice.asmx
a remote site
https://easyfile.123.com/spws/scanpointwebservice.asmx
The default profile key is easyfile.
Test the connection to ensure it is correct.
Under the LDAP settings, click the Add button
On the LDAP page, enter NT as the Setting Name
Enter the LDAP Server Name, Admin User and Password.
Enter the AD Group name created for Easyfile users and click Test Get AD Users. This simulates the process of obtaining the users without importing into Easyfile. The names of the AD Group users should appear.
If everything is setup correctly, click Save.
Click OK to finish.
Click the Start button to restart the Scanpoint Service.
The last step is to go back to Easyfile Administrator and add the new Easyfile users into the Easyfile AD Sync group.
