administrator account-  Adutante Server
There is an Adutante server Built-in administrator account can be reset as needed.
id: admin   password: adutante 
It is recommended to configure and use some other account which is a member of built-in Administrators group,  while disabling built-in account right after initial setup.

administrator account-  VSLogger Server
There is a VSLogger server Built-in administrator account (CLI Tool administrator account) for direct access and device management.
id: admin   password: admin
This account should be protected and can be reset, as needed.   CLI tool allows changing both, user id and password.


user permissions

Permissions for individual users and for security groups handled in Adutante administration modules: 

• General Administration
• Recorder Administration
• QC admnistration 
• etc

Method 2:  Active Directory Authentication

Note: This feature is available starting with VSLogger Call Recording server version 4.8.0.0 and Adutante server 1.8.0.0.

Purpose of this method of authentication is to use Windows user accounts for access to the Adutante server and VSLogger server. This eliminates the need to create a separate set of user accounts for recorder users and, at the same time, leaves recorder permissions management procedures almost unchanged.

Note: There is no integration occurring, no data is being shared, no import/export/merging etc is occurring with this authentication method. 

Authentication is handled by the Adutante server and VSLogger connection services. Program access is granted to Active Directory users who are members of specific security groups created in Active directory and mapped to security groups in the Adutante server.


configuration
adutante.auth.method=2
# Active directory user account to be mapped to Adutante built in system account ADMINISTRATOR. Used with adutante.auth.method=2 only
adutante.auth.adminid=2

administrator account notes - Adutante Server

# Active directory user account to be mapped to Adutante built in system account ADMINISTRATOR. Used with adutante.auth.method=2 only
# adutante.auth.adminid = userid
adutante.auth.adminid=userid

NOTE: userid replaces the native administrative account in Adutante of admin. userid is in representation of the AD account to become the native Adutante admin.

administrator account notes-  VSLogger Server
There is a VSLogger server Built-in administrator account (CLI Tool administrator account) for direct access and device mangement.
id: admin   password: admin
This account should be protected and can be reset, as needed.   CLI tool allows to change both, user id and password.

User permissions

Permissions for security groups handled in Adutante administration modules: 

• General Administration
• Recorder Administration
• QC Administration 
• etc

Any Adutante user group can be associated with the Active directory group.
Required naming convention note:  Active directory folder used for call recorder integration should start with word Adutante (not case sensitive)

For example :

Adutante User Group	Associated Active Directory Group	Active Directory user accounts, members of  Associated Active Directory Group
Administrators(built-in Group)	Adutante Administrators	Have Full Administrative Rights in Adutante server and connected (registered) VSLogger servers
Managers	Adutante Managers	Have permissions assigned to Managers Group
Other Group	N/A	Users do not have access or other permission unless members of other associated Active Directory Group
