Install the Exinda AD Connector
To integrate Active Directory with the Exinda Appliance, you need to install the Exinda AD Connector service on a Windows server that can then connect to the Active Directory server. Each Exinda AD Connector can talk to up to 20 Exinda appliances.
You can download the Active Directory Connector from the Configuration > System > Network > Active Directory tab on the Exinda Appliance. Click on the Microsoft Installer Executable link and save the installer to a location that can be accessed by all Windows servers in the network.
