Active Directory

On the Active Directory tab, you can configure Active Directory authentication. You just need a user account in Active Directory to configure this.

Settings

  • Default domain

    To improve user experience, enter the default domain so users belonging to the domain can sign in with user name. Users not belonging to the domain have to sign in with domainname\username.

  • Active Directory server address

    The address of your Active Directory (AD) server.

  • Active Directory server port

    Default TCP ports:

    • Secure LDAPS: 636

    • LDAP: 389

  • Enable secure LDAPS

    Clear this to use the LDAP protocol. Remember to set the port correctly.

  • Network

    Select the network the Active Directory server is on. A computer with Printix Client must be online on that network, otherwise the on-premise Active Directory server cannot be contacted for authentication and you will see the message: No connection to Active Directory server. We recommend installing the Printix Client on an extra computer with permanent network access. You could for example install Printix Client on an existing on-premise server.

  • Username

    Enter your network user name (not saved) to test the connection.

  • Password

    Enter your network password (not saved) to test the connection. The password must not contain the character hash (#).

Signing in with user name (Active Directory sAMAccountName) is supported by the web Printix App, but not the Printix App for Android and iOS/iPadOS. Sign-in with user name is not supported if you sign in through printix.net.
