Session timeout: in this field you can define the number of hours you wish your CLOUDFLOW session to run uninterrupted. Minimum value: 0.1 hrs, maximum value: 876,600 hours. (Values higher than 876,600 hours will be reduced to 876,600 hours. Some browsers may not accept high values and return to the login page.)

ACTIVE DIRECTORY LOGIN SUPPORT

With these settings you can set up an Microsoft Active Directory authentication to allow users to authenticate against Microsoft Active Directory.

Active Directory logins look like an email address (for example: user@domain.local).

When Active Directory Login is set up, the first time an Active Directory user logs in into the system, a new user is created. In the users page, these logins are marked as Active Directory users.

An Active Directory user cannot change his/her password in CLOUDFLOW, this needs to be done on the active directory domain.

• Server: here you can specify the name or IP address of the Active Directory server.
• Active Directory Domain: here you can specify the Active Directory domain.
  • If the domain part of the logins is the same for everyone, you can specify the domain (including @) in this field. In this case, the user can leave the domain field empty when logging in into CLOUDFLOW, and only Active Directory logins in the specified active directory domain are allowed.
  • If several domains are used, you can leave this field empty. In this case, the user needs to enter the correct domain when logging in into CLOUDFLOW.
• Distinguished Names: here you can enter the LDAP distinguished names of the users to authenticate. CLOUDFLOW uses these to look for the users in Active Directory.

  LDAP distinguished names look like this: cn=User,ou=my-org,dc=my-domain,dc=com

  Important: Active Directory and LDAP distinguished names are an extensive and complex matter for which you need to have specific knowledge. Always ask your system administrator for help and advice.
  In case your system administrator is not able to help you, you can follow these steps to get the LDAP distinguished name for an Active Directory user on Windows:

  1. Select Start > Run on a Windows system (server or client).
  2. Enter compmgmt.msc
  3. Select OK. The Computer Management Console opens.
  4. Expand Users & Groups.
  5. Select Groups.
  6. Open the Properties for one of the groups and select Add.
  7. Select the Users window and select Advanced.
  8. In the Select Users window, search for the admin user name and select to show the X500 name in the attributes to display. This is the full distinguished name.
  Important: If you enter the distinguished name like in the above example (cn=User,ou=my-org,dc=my-domain,dc=com), it will only return the first user. If you want to add all users, you might need to leave out the first cn component. Based on the example above, this would be ou=my-org,dc=my-domain,dc=com. However, this depends on your AD setup. Ask your system administrator for help.

  Several paths can be separated by a new line. Distinguished names will create a shadow user in CLOUDFLOW referring to the user in Active Directory.

• Default Scope: here you can define the scope to assign to Active Directory users when they log in for the first time.

GOOGLE LOGIN SUPPORT

With these settings you can activate a Google login in case you want to allow user authentication via Google accounts. To do this, you need to obtain a Google Client ID and Client Secret. See the Google developers website for more information on how to do this.

• Client ID: here you can enter your Google client ID.
• Client secret: here you can enter your Google Client Secret.
