Active Directory Authentication

Active Directory Authentication


Role Required: SDAdmin

You can authenticate user login to AssetExplorer via Active Directory. AD-based authentication can be configured in two ways:

Log in using AD Credentials

Enable user login for AssetExplorer.
  1. Hover over Active Directory Authentication fields and click Edit.
  2. Select Enable Active Directory Authentication.
  3. Click Save.


In the application login screen, the users can specify their system/AD login credentials and select the Domain to log in to AssetExplorer. They can also bypass AD authentication during login by selecting Local Authentication from the Domain drop-down and specifying their local authentication credentials.
If LDAP SSL is enabled for a domain in AD import page, AD authentication will also occur through LDAP SSL. 
You can enable SSO for AD users to instantly access AssetExplorer without providing any login credentials from SAML by configuring ADFS as the IdP.
You can also configure other identity providers such as Okta or OneLogin to enable SSO. 
Ensure that the AD users are imported to the IdP before configuring SSO.
