Adding endpoints using an Active Directory domain server

Endpoints can be manually imported from an Active Directory (AD) domain server. You can import and synchronize information about computer accounts with an LDAP or LDAPS service. You can add endpoints by identifying endpoints that are part of an AD domain server.

An instructional video on how to add a domain is available in the Fortinet Video Library.

You can add the entire domain or an organizational unit (OU) from the domain.

To add endpoints using an Active Directory domain service:

1. Click Endpoints > Manage Domains > Add. The Domain pane displays.

   

2. Configure the following options:

   IP address/Hostname	Type the IP address or name.
   Port	Type the port number.
   Distinguished name	Type the distinguished name (optional).
   Bind type	Select the bind type: Simple, Anonymous, or Regular. When you select Regular, enter the User DN and Password.
   Username	Available when Bind Type is set to Regular. Type the user DN.
   Password	Available when Bind Type is set to Regular. Type the user password.
   Show Password	Available when Bind Type is set to Regular. Turn on and off to show or hide the password.
   LDAPS connection	Turn on to enable a secure connection protocol when Bind Type is set to Regular.

3. Click Test to test the domain settings connection.
4. If the test is successful, select Save to save the new domain. If not, correct the information as required then test the settings again.
