Active Directory Authentication

Active Directory can now be set up through the Panopto web installer. See below or step #6 on this page

If you have already installed Panopto and would like to add, change or remove Active Directory settings, go to add/remove programs - Panopto - Change - Click next until you reach the Active Directory step and make your changes.

The Panopto installer will automatically create the Domain LDAP string and specify the Domain Name.  If you wish to use LDAP for authentication change these settings, if necessary, and click Next.

   (Optional) If you need to specify a username/password for the connection to Active Directory, add the connectionUsername andconnectionPassword attributes to Program Files\Panopto\Web\web.config as shown below:

<add name="domain" description="Domain Name" connectionStringName="ADConnectionString" connectionUsername="UserWithAppropriateRights" connectionPassword="PasswordForUser" attributeMapUsername="sAMAccountName" enableSearchMethods="true" type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />

 See below for example of web.config:

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="Panopto.Data.Properties.Settings.PanoptoDBConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=PanoptoDB_2" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
