Chapter 29Kerio Active Directory ExtensionsActive Directory Extensions is an extension to the Active Directory service (under Windows 2000and newer versions) with items that include specific information for Kerio MailServer. Byinstallation of the extension you can integrate part of Kerio MailServer into Active Directory.This will simplify actions related to user administration.Kerio Active Directory Extensions provides the following benefits:Easy account administrationKerio MailServer can (apart from its internal user account database) use also accountsand groups saved in the LDAP database (in Microsoft Active Directory). Using LDAP, useraccounts can be managed from one location. This reduces possible errors and simplifiesadministration.Online cooperation of Kerio MailServer with Microsoft Active DirectoryAdditions, modifications or removals of user accounts/groups in the Microsoft ActiveDirectory database are applied to Kerio MailServer immediately.Example: A company uses the Windows 2000 domain and Kerio MailServer. A new employeewas introduced to the company. This is what has been done until now:1. A new account has been created in Active Directory.2. The user has been imported to Kerio MailServer (or an account using the same name hasbeen created and this name was verified by the Kerberos system).If you use LDAP database only the first step must be taken. If Kerio Active Directory Extensionsis deployed, the dialog where new user accounts can be created is extended with a tab wherespecific information for Kerio MailServer can be entered (email addresses, forwarding, quota,etc.).The account is created only in the Active Directory database. Kerio MailServer and MicrosoftActive Directory cooperate online. Accounts in Kerio MailServer are created automatically.Warning:• Accounts created in Kerio Administration Console will be created only locally — such accountswill not be copied into the Active Directory database.• If the Active Directory server is not available it will not be possible to access KerioMailServer. It is therefore recommended to create at least one local account with read/writepermissions.• When creating a user account, ASCII must be used to specify username. If the usernameincludes special characters or symbols, it might happen that the user cannot log in.306
