Offline Domain Join connector

This field defines the Offline Domain Join connector that is used to perform offline domain joins for the assets that are on the responsibility of users in this organisation or in its sub-organisations. By default, all organisations use the Offline Domain Join connector that is defined as the default connector, but this field overrides the default connector setting.

The offline domain join is performed either during asset's initial installation or device self-service enrollment if the "Miradore Offline Domain Join~1" system package is included in the group of packages that are being installed in the process.

For more information, please read Performing offline domain join with the system package.

Main: External identification

Attribute name

Description

LDAP identification string

When importing user objects from Microsoft Active Directory, you can assign those to a correct Miradore organisation by entering an identification string here. On the AD connector item, you can define the AD attributes that are used in the identification process. Attribute values are separated with a comma and combined into a string. This combined string is compared to LDAP identification strings of organisations. If the combined string includes the LDAP identification string of an organisation, the organisation is set for user. If the combined string matches to several organisations, i.e. several LDAP identification strings, the organisation which has the longest LDAP identification string is selected for the user.

An LDAP identification string can be a part of the combined attribute value string, for example (if distinguishedName is used):

OU=Sales,OU=Finland,OU=Users,DC=company,DC=com

OU=Sales,OU=Finland,OU=Users

Several LDAP identification strings can be entered for a organisation by separating them with semicolons, for example:

OU=Sales,OU=Finland,OU=Users;OU=Sales,OU=Germany,OU=Users

See Mapping user's department from Microsoft AD to corresponding organization in Miradore and  Active Directory connector for more information.

This field is optional.
