An active directory is a directory structure used on Microsoft Windows based computers
and servers to store information and data about networks and domains. An active directory
(sometimes referred to as AD) does a variety of functions including the ability to provide
information on objects. It also helps to organize these objects for easy retrieval and
access, allows access by end users and administrators and allows the administrator to set
security up for the directory.
In MegaRAC SP-X application, Active Directory allows you to configure the Active
Directory Server Settings. The displayed table shows any configured Role Groups and the
available slots. You can modify, add or delete role groups from here. Group domain can be
the AD domain or a trusted domain. Group Name should correspond to the name of an
actual AD group.
Note: To view the page, you must be at least a User and to modify or add a group, you
must be an Administrator.
To open Active Directory Settings page, click Configuration > Active Directory from the
menu bar. A sample screenshot of Active Directory Settings page is shown below.
