Active Directory General Settings

You can change the Active Directory General Settings to configure how the Cisco CDA interacts with the Active Directory servers.

To configure the Active Directory general settings, complete the following steps:

 1. Click the Active Directory General Settings link on the Dashboard.

The Active Directory General Settings dialog box is displayed.

 2. Fill in the following details:

 • AD Monitoring—Time span between consecutive monitoring of the DC machine’s up/down status.

 • History—Specify the number of minutes in the past from which to start reading the security logs of DC machines that are configured. For example, if you want history for the past ten minutes, enter 10.

 • User Logon Expiration Period—Time duration after which logged-in user is marked as logged-out.

 • Use NTLMv2—Check this check box to use NTLMv2 protocol. This will cause CDA to use NTLMv2 authentication protocol when connecting to Active Directory Domain Controllers. This check box is not checked by default after installing Cisco CDA, patch 1.

Make sure all the requirements as described in “Active Directory Requirements for Successful Connection with Cisco CDA” section on page 2-4 are fulfilled, for a successful connection with Cisco CDA.

If the Group Policy enforced on the Domain Controller is set to “Send NTLMv2 response only. Refuse LM & NTLM”, see Figure 3-6, then you should use NTLMv2 to connect to the Domain Controller for the CDA to successfully connect to the Domain Controller.

 3. Click Save.
