After you complete the initial installation and configure AWS Secrets Manager as the
external key vault, you can set up the authentication type for Automation 360
Control Room users in the Initial Setup (this occurs directly after the
initial installation completes).
Procedure
-
From the Authentication type for Control Room users dialog
box, click Active Directory.
-
You can optionally configure the Active Directory
integration credential (this is the credential that the Control Room uses to authenticate users with Active Directory) to be retrieved from AWS Secrets
Manager. Click External Key vault and enter the AWS
secret to retrieve credentials in the field (for example: userAD). The
Control Room will attempt to retrieve the credential from the
AWS Secrets Manager and then authenticate to the Domain Controller. If this
fails either:
- There is no secret with that name in AWS Secrets Manager, or
- There is a secret with that name, but it does not contain a username and
password that is authorized for authentication with Active Directory.
-
Click Discover connections. The available domains and
sites display.
-
Click Next and continue to create the Control Room first admin. Save the Admin user information.
Results
You can now log in to the Control Room as admin and add users and
roles.
