Using Active Directory with Workcube
As it is known, Workcube is a software with web-based architecture. It works on browsers. However, the Windows operating system does not directly send the information in the active directory structure to the websites. This may cause security vulnerabilities. Therefore, users who want to log in directly to Active Directory must define their Workcube domain as a secure website.
Using Active Directory in Workcube is done in a few different ways. There are minor changes for these. However, the main definitions are made in the fbx_workcube_param.cfm file.
Points to Consider
- Making the workcube_param definitions correct
- Ensuring that the workcube username and active directory username are the same
- Any problems that prevent communication with active directory through the workcube server
After the above checks, make the following definitions.
use_active_directory = '1';
If you set this value to 1, people can connect to the workcube system with their active directory username and password.
If this value is 2, it will automatically be used as soon as the workcube address is typed in the browser. They log in to workcube. There is no need to fill out any login forms.
active_directory_server = '127.0.0.125';
This value is given as an example. The IP address of the server where we will check the active directory users and passwords is written here.
active_directory_server_add = "';
This value is written if there is any definition or localnetworkname used before the username when connecting to the active directory server. Otherwise, it is left blank.
active_directory_start = 'cn=users,dc=domain';
active_directory_atrr = 'cn,sn,mail';
The above two values should remain as standard. They cannot be changed except in special cases.
In order to log in directly from the browser in the Active Directory system, Active Directory Active X settings must be made in the literature system. You can read it.
The name of the activex object required to retrieve the information from the Active Directory from the browser is Windows Script Host Runtime Library. First of all, we need to run the plugin to query this plug-in. Then, we need to change the activex settings on the secure sites in the secure sites section in the internet options as follows.
After these settings, we automatically log in to the workcube system. you can
