Configure LDAP for User Authentication (Visual Casino 6)

Authentication | Authorization

Visual Casino 6 is capable of delegating user authentication to an external lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) service. Users will still be required to have specific permissions configured within Visual Casino 6 in order to have access to the application.

Configuring Authentication

Visual Casino 6 uses LDAP to authenticate users against Active Directory. To that end, an LDAP service user must be created to authenticate users. It is recommended that this user have no login privileges and merely have the ability to authenticate users against LDAP.

Additionally, you will need to know the Organizational Unit and domain to authenticate against. We have provided an example of these pieces of information in Table 1.

Setting Example Value
Active Directory User Name vc6ldap
Active Directory Password ************
LDAP Table Name LDAP://dc.example.com/CN=VC6,OU=Users,DC=ad,DC=example,DC=com
Default Domain ad.example.com

 Table 1: Example LDAP Settings for Visual Casino 6

To configure LDAP within Visual Casino 6:

  1. log in to Visual Casino 6 as a Visual Casino user in the Administrators group
  2. Select Administration > System Settings > General Settings
  3. Select the Active Directory tab
  4. Enter the LDAP service user and password, the LDAP Table Name1, and the domain that the users log in to
  5. Save

Configuration of LDAP Authentication is now complete.

NOTE: No Active Directory users have been enabled to use Visual Casino 6 at this point. You must authorize users within Visual Casino 6 before their Active Directory credentials will grant them access to the Visual Casino 6 application.

Configuring Authorization

Once Authentication is configured, users must be granted permission to access the Visual Casino 6 application. To grant a user access to Visual Casino 6:

  1. log in to Visual Casino 6 as a Visual Casino user with User Management capabilities
  2. Select Administration > User Management ...
  3. Click the create new user icon
  4. Set the new user's username to their domain username
  5. Choose Windows Authentication and select the domain from the dropdown menu
  6. Click the Member Of tab
  7. Assign the appropriate group to the user
  8. Click OK

1 The Table Name is comprised of LDAP://, the name of the ldap server, /, and the distinguishedName of the Organizational Unit or Group that is to be granted permission to authenticate with Visual Casino 6
