Configuring Cisco Umbrella Windows AD Connector Part 2

[Music] [Applause] [Music] hi in this video we're going to take a look at configuring Cisco umbrella Windows Active Directory connector this is part two so in part one we learnt how to configure and implement the Windows Active Directory connector script now in this video we're going to focus actually on the installation of the Windows Active Directory connector for part of this demonstration we're going to focus on installing the connector on a domain controller so as we do as always we start off with main points which I've covered as part of my studies so the main points i've got for this video means that the Windows Active Directory connector can be installed on a non DC server if preferred so in our demonstration today we will be installing this on a domain controller however you don't have to if you don't want to you can install it on a non domain controller server as long as it's part of the domain additional requirements to be taken into consideration if installed on mondesi servers so I will put the links to relevant guides in the end of this slide and I will also post them in the video description however this main point is basically pointing out that if you're installing the connector on a non domain controller there is additional prerequisites that you need to consider before proceeding and the last one is separate file to install and this is not the same of the active as the active directory connector script so as we saw in part one we implemented the script and perform some configurations on the server side the script is totally separate now what we're gonna do is we're gonna focus on the actual connector itself and download in that the steps to install a Windows Active Directory connector pretty straightforward we just need to access the GUI and download the Windows Active Directory connector then we need to install a connector on the domain controller or non domain controller server for our demonstration as I said we will use the domain controller and then last of all we need to verify that the connector is operational within Cisco umbrella all these steps who will perform and will verify in the demonstration so for those I have watched part 1 we're using the same topology for this demonstration our main focus is the installation of the active directory connector so they won't be any need to use the client at this moment in time however I may do some videos in the future that shows how the client operates once the umbrella environment is set up and configured so we have the same two virtual appliances and we have the umbrella active directory connector we've got the script currently configured on the domain controller at the minute which is the server 2019 and now we're going to install the actual connector on to that server now so what we'll do now is we'll flip over to the umbrella lab environment and to download the Windows Active Directory connector those are wash part one is the same process just different downloads so we go to deployments configuration sites and active directory and you can see there from the previous video that we did we still have the domain controller registered with the Cisco umbrella however its status here if we click on a little information button we can see that it's never connected to the connector so we're going to do now is we're going to actually install that connector now so to do that top right hand side download and we're going to select the second one this time so this is going to be the windows service active directory connector download that it's downloaded we will need to extract that you can see that there so we'll just extract that file now and now we need to run the setup file that you can see there so we'll just run that setup file now and we just simply follow the steps through so in the in part one we saw that we configured the Active Directory domain controller with a username I did say that you could change the username in the script if you wanted to however for our demonstration we kept the same username the default username which is Open DNS underscore connector now what I'll do is I'll enter the password that we give for that user and as you can see the little informational text at the bottom there says that the password will be verified with the domain controller so it's unable to validate the credentials so I need to check that the password is correct so what I'll do is I'll just go back there and I'll just verify that the password is correct so just quickly verified the password so I'll just enter that again and as you can see there now the connector credentials are being successfully validated so we'll just continue with the installation process and that's the installation complete for the connector so the contents of the installation can be seen here in the location that we specified source II drive we can see the contents within within here so let's go back to the umbrella board and see if we can get an update so just refresh the screen and now you can see that the active directory connector is here and installed two minutes ago so after some time you should see the green status which is okay next to your domain controller if using a domain controller and your active directory connector now this can take some time it just depends on the synchronization and especially if using vs so we can take a quick look at the vias and now we can see there that the ad connector status is stalled based on the research I've done this this should be this is normal so active or stalled as you can see there while we're just doing this video it's changed back to active so I'll Green now so that's fine so that is how you install the Windows Active Directory connector for Cisco umbrella I have some useful links here I will share them in the description of the video but please if you've liked this video please subscribe and if you're interested in more videos to come then you can hit the
