The ADQuickStartJDBC quick start gives you most of everything you need to use MyVD to integrate Linux with Active Directory using MyVD. This quick start will NOT setup an ApacheDB database. You will need to create tables based on the below instructions in your chosen database server. You will also need to copy the jar file that contains your database drivers into the MY_VD/lib directory. This quick start will integrate Active Directory an optionally setup SSL options. Before running this quick start you need the following information:
| Option | Description | Example |
| Active Directory domain controller host | The host of the AD system | test.mydomain.com |
| AD Port | The port of the AD system | By default: 389 for non-ssl, 636 for ssl |
| AD Domain | The domain name | test.mydomain.com |
| AD Search User | DN for user for MyVD to connect to AD. This user must have no search controls placed on it. Do not include the domain name in the dn | cn=MyVDUser,cn=Users |
| AD Search Users Password | Password for the MyVD user | password |
| AD User Base | The base for all users and groups, minus the domain name | Typically “cn=Users” |
| Use SSL to connect to AD? | Determines if SSL will be used for connecting to AD | |
| Use Kerberos for authentication | Determines if Kerberos should be used for authentication, useful when there is no AD SSL availability | |
| Create Self Signed Certificate? | Determines if a self signed certificate should be created for MyVD | If you do not have a certificate authority or want to get up and running quickly |
| JDBC Driver | The class name of the jdbc driver | For ApacheDB: org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver |
| JDBC Url | The JDBC url for the database | For ApacheDB : jdbc:derby:myvdPosix;create=true |
| JDBC User | The user to use to connect to the database, must have write permissions | |
| JDBC Password | The password for the jdbc user |
In your database you must create the following tables:
posixUsers
| Field | Type | Options |
| id | int | Primary key, auto increment |
| objectGuid | varchar(255) | unique index |
| homeDir | varchar(255) | no index |
| loginShell | varchar(255) | no index |
posixGroups
| Field | Type | Options |
| id | int | Primary key, auto increment |
| objectGuid | varchar(255) | unique index |
Once completed an LDAP search from the base you configure will pre-populate the database.
