Question
What is the process for setting up Automatic Policy Assignment using Active Directory mapping?
Answer
To make use of Active Directory based Policy Assignment you must:
- Install the App Control Server in an Active Directory Domain.
- Enable the Active Directory Mapping Interface.
- Create AD-mappable Target Policies.
- Create Mappings.
- Install, or move, Agents to AD-mappable Policies.
Detailed instructions for each part of this process can be found in the section, "Assigning Policy by Active Directory mapping" of the
User Guide chapter, "Managing Computers".
Additional Notes
- AD-mappable Policies are compatible for any Computer configured through your Active Directory server, including non-Windows platforms.
- AD-mappable Policies are indicated by the Column, "Automatic" in the Console > Rules > Policies.
- If an AD-mappable Policy is deleted while an Agent is offline, the Agent will move to the Default Policy Group.
- Automatic Policy Assignment is off by default and existing Policies will need to be configured with new mapping rules after enabling Automatic Policy Assignment.
