Deploy the Connector for Active Directory

Because the Connector for Active Directory is installed on a separate host, you must
establish a relationship between the connector and the search appliance.

To deploy the Connector for Active Directory, perform the following tasks:

1.

Configure the search appliance

2.

Install the Connector for Active Directory

3. Optionally,

configure adaptor-config.properties variables

4.

Run the Connector for Active Directory

Step 1 Configure the search appliance

For the search appliance to work with the Connector for Active Directory, the search
appliance needs to be able to accept feeds from the connector. To set up this capability,
add the IP address of the computer that hosts the connector to the list of Trusted IP
addresses so that the search appliance will accept feeds from this address.

To add the IP address of the computer that hosts the connector to the list of trusted IP
addresses:

1. In the search appliance Admin Console, click Content Sources > Feeds.
2. Under List of Trusted IP Addresses, select Only trust feeds from these IP

addresses.

3. Add the IP address for the connector to the list.
4. Click Save.
