Step 1. Generate KeyTab file in Active Directory

For Cloud PBX, PBX must access AD for sync user:

Choose an arbitrary FQDN to connect your PBX. Enter name in the following format:

[SERVER].[LOCAL-DOMAIN]

Example: pbx.mycompany.local

Note: This address should resolve the PBX IP address.

Then, follow the steps below of this guide.

Go to Active Directory Users and Computers -> Computers

Create a new computer account. Note, that this account should not contain a user with the same name

Note: It is recommended to avoid upper case.

To create KeyTab file associated to this computer and check spn (service principal name) binding to the computer account, run the following commands with Domain Admin privileges:
```
ktpass -princ HTTP/some-name.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM -mapuser some-name$@EXAMPLE.COM -crypto ALL -ptype KRB5_NT_SRV_HST +rndpass -out d:\some-name.keytab
Reset SOME-NAME$'s password [y/n]? y
```
where
some-name$@EXAMPLE.COM - the computer's name in the asset directory (with $)
+ rndpass - the password that is generated for the computer account, where the domain is written in capital letters
You can check that KeyTab / SPN is well associated with following command:
```
setspn -Q HTTP/some-name.example.com
```
The correct result is: Existing SPN found
Bad result is: No SPN found/ More than one SPN found

If HTTP / some-name.example.com is bound to several computers or users, authentication of Kerberos will not work
When KeyTab is generated, it appears on the disk - d: \ some-name.keytab:

Step 2. Upload KeyTab file to PBX

Go to WMS Settings -> PBX -> Security
Enable Active Directory Single SignOn via Kerberos (Negotiate)
Upload KeyTab file previously generated in Active Directory

Limitation: Only "0-9", "a-z", "A-Z", "_," '- ", "@", "." characters are allowed in KeyTab file name.

Enter Kerberos FQDN of the KeyTab. It contains encoded domain name/ IP address of PBX:

Step 3. Import users from AD

In order to use AD SSO, you need to import users from Active Directory.

Consult Documentation for details.

Step 4. Active Directory SSO

On Windows PC, connected to Active Directory, log in to the system with a user who was previously imported to PBX
Reach PBX via the domain name configured as Kerberos FQDN (the name must be resolved to PBX IP address). For example, glebka-test1.wildix2016.inc

Note: Configure your browser to authenticate SSO. Refer to the next chapter Browser configuration.
If everything is set up correctly, then you log in automatically to Collaboration with the user that you are logged in to Windows PC

Browser configuration

Mozilla Firefox

To access Firefox settings, enter about:config into the Address bar and press [Enter] to open the list of customizable preferences for the current browser's installation.

You need to add FQDN of your PBX into the list of trusted URIs:

network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris - FQDN of the Server

On "Login Page" can you find the right for FQDN.

Chrome

To access Chrome settings:

auth-server-whitelist -Allowed FQDN - Set the FQDN of the IdP Server. Example:
```
chrome --auth-server-whitelist="*aai-logon.domain-a.com"
```

On "Login Page" can you find the right for FQDN.

Opera

Opera does not currently support Kerberos authentication.

Debugging

See instructions in case the following error messages are present in wms.log:

"No entry HTTP://XXXX found in key table"

Possible solution: Check steps 1, 2 and 3 of the guide. The issue is a wrong keytab.

"Error accepting security context"

Possible solution: You might need to check if you are connecting to PBX using the correct URL, and if the browser is well configured.

"No user found in LDAP"

Check the connection logs and find out what is the PrincipalName used for connection: USER@DOMAIN or USER? If there are no logs of the user, the issue could be the auth-server-whitelist.
