  2. Users Filters: Enter any filters that need to be used when searching for users.

  3. Additional Group Membership: Add users to groups for Aiimi Insight Engine only.

User Mappings

Within User Mappings match up the Aiimi Insight Engine properties with the AD Field Name. Most of these should stay the same across all systems. If you have any variation in naming make sure they are updated within the AD Field Name field.

Trusted Domains

  1. Left Field: Add any LDAP servers that should be checked for group membership. These servers should be in the same forest, with the same login details from General.

  2. Right Field: Enter the NETBIOS domain name for this server's tree.

    • This is a precaution incase the plugin cannot directly determine it.
