ActiveDirectory Component

Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings   Errors  

The ActiveDirectory component can be used to authenticate users against Active Directory using Kerberos 5.0.

Syntax

TipaActiveDirectory

Remarks

The ActiveDirectory component authenticates users against Active Directory. Authentication is performed using the Kerberos protocol defined in RFC 1510 and RFC 4120.

Authentication

When Authenticate is called the component will attempt to authenticate the user with the Active Directory server. The component will communicate with the ADHost to obtain a service ticket and populate AuthToken. The following properties are required when calling this method:

A typical sequence of messages would be:

  • KRB_AS_REQ -> KDC
  • KRB_AS_REP <- KDC
  • KRB_TGS_REQ -> KDC
  • KRB_TGS_REP <- KDC
  • AuthToken is populated with the constructed KRB_AP_REP message.

Communication with the ADHost can be seen through the PITrail event.
