Active Directory

In addition to local users, you can configure existing Active Directory users for login.

Active Directory permissions are defined based on the user group. When you set the primary group for a user, that user is excluded from the corresponding group membership in the Active Directory. This is because the Active Directory does not support primary group functionality. It does not query the primary group attribute when building the group membership of a user, therefore the primary group on the Active Directory server is not visible in Guardian.
