Step 6 - Add Incoming Users
Admins can add users manually or import user lists via .csv or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). To get started:
-
Click 'Domain' on the left, select the domain for which you want to add users and click the 'Manage domain' button.
-
To add users manually:
- Click 'Domain' > select the domain for which you want to add users > click 'Manage domain'
- Click 'Account management' > 'Users' on the left hand menu.
- Click the 'Add' button in the 'Users' interface.
- Enter the username of the new user in the 'New User' dialog. This name becomes the first part of their email address. For example, if you add a user called 'alice', their email address is 'alice@your-domain.com'.
- The dialog also allows you to add the user to the recipient whitelist, to add them as recipients of quarantine reports, and to grant the user access to the CASG interface.
- Click the 'Save' button.
- See 'Account Management' if you need more help with this.
-
To import users via a .csv file:
- Click 'Domain' > select the domain for which you want to add users > click 'Manage domain'
- Click 'Account management' > 'Users' on the left hand menu.
- Click 'More Actions' > 'Import from CSV file'.
- Users should be listed in the following format in the .csv file:
username1,domain.com,true
username2,domain.com,false
- E.g. alice,example.com,true. True/false determines whether or not a user can access the CASG interface.
- Click 'Upload', navigate to where your file is saved and click 'Open' to import the .csv file.
- See 'User Account Management' if you need more help with this.
-
To import users via LDAP:
You can configure CASG to import users from an AD server using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Once configured, CASG can periodically synchronize with AD and add or remove users as their status changes on the AD server.
Comodo strongly recommends that a separate LDAP/AD account be created for the purposes of the ASG login and that this user account is allocated read-only permissions.
- Click 'Domain' > select the domain for which you want to add users > click 'Manage domain'.
- Click 'Account management' > 'LDAP import configuration' on the left hand menu.
- Enter/ select the required configuration settings.
- Click 'Save' to store these settings for later
- Click 'Save and run synchronization now' to save your settings and import users from your AD server
- Click 'LDAP import confirmation list' (under 'Account management' on the left) to view the differences between the CASG and AD user lists.
- Users present in AD but not present in CASG – click 'Create' to add them to CASG
- Users present in CASG but not present in AD – click 'Delete' to remove them from CASG
- Click 'Run Synchronization Now' to fetch the latest users from AD. All new users are displayed.
- Click 'Apply import by filter' to import users after applying a filter of your choice
- Click 'Apply import by selection' to manually select the users you wish to import
- Clear all filters and click 'Apply import by filter' to import the latest user list from AD
- Click 'OK' in the confirmation dialog.
Add users to ignore list
Users in the ignore list are not added, deleted or updated when CASG synchronizes with Active Directory.
- Click 'Account management' > ‘LDAP import ignore list'
- Click 'Add'. The 'Add ignored' user dialog will open.
- Enter the users you wish to ignore. Click the icon to add more users
- Click 'Save' to add the users to the ignore
list.
