Authentication Methods and Configuration

Authentication configuration:

Authentication is configured in Adutante Server configuration file <adutante install folder>/applicatons/adutante/config/adutante.properties

Method 1: Adutante Authentication

Authentication handled by Adutante and VSLogger connection services, according to user accounts created and managed in General Administration module
NOTE: Please be aware correct syntax is no space before or after the = sign as the first configuration shows. Also, the # voids the line, it is meant for comments.

administrator account- Adutante Server
There is an Adutante server built-in administrator account can be reset as needed. Default values: 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.

This account can sign into Adutante Server and to all registered recorders (VSLogger servers).

administrator account- VSLogger Server
There is a VSLogger server Built-in administrator account (CLI Tool administrator account) for direct VSLogger UI access and device management.
Default values id: admin password: admin. CLI tool is used to change corresponding , User id and password.

This account can sign only into corresponding recorder (VSLogger server).

Attention: This account should be protected and reset to secure values after the installation!!!

user permissions

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

General Administration
Recorders Administration
QC administration

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.

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.

administrator account - Adutante Server

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

NOTE: adutante.auth.adminid parameter replaces the native administrative account in Adutante ( admin).

adutante.auth.adminid (in representation of the AD account) becomes the native Adutante admin.

This account can sign into Adutante Server and to all registered recorders (VSLogger servers).

Administrator account - VSLogger Server.

There is a VSLogger server Built-in administrator account (CLI Tool administrator account) for direct VSLogger UI access and device management.
Default values id: admin password: admin. CLI tool is used to change corresponding , User id and password.

This account can sign only into corresponding recorder (VSLogger server).

Attention: This account should be protected and reset to secure values after the installation!!!

User permissions

Permissions for security groups handled in Adutante administration modules:

General Administration
Recorder Administration
QC Administration
etc

Adutante user group can be associated with (mapped to) 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 mapped 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

Instructions for end user, prior the installation with Active Directory Authentication

Create Active Directory Group "Adutante Administrators" . Add users who should have administrative rights to your recorder to this group.
Create Active Directory Group "Adutante Managers". Add users who will review and analyze recordings to this group.
Create and "Managers" Group in Adutante server, General Administration module. Assign this group permissions giving access to all monitoring and recordings search capabilities. All members of the "Adutante Managers" active directory group will have this permissions.
If needed, add extra active directory group and mapped Adutante server groups with special permissions.
