Introduction: 

Active Directory (AD) enables your security teams to authenticate and authorize CA Test Data Manager (TDM) user access and privileges from a central location.

To read more about how AD authentication works with TDM-Datamaker, see our online documentation: https://docops.ca.com/ca-test-data-manager/3-5/en/administrating/security/active-directory-integration

Background:  

There are two different methods for activating AD authentication based on what TDM-Datamaker release version you have. TDM 3.1 has a different set of instructions than TDM 3.2. See the instructions section of this document for more information.

Environment:  

CA Test Data Manager- Datamaker 3.1 & 3.2 and above.

Active Directory

Instructions for TDM-Datamaker 3.2 and above:

If you have TDM with a release version of 3.2 and above, the current way to activate AD Integration is to go into the ‘Users and Groups’ tab and specify the Active Directory Name for the ‘AD’ column.

1. Launch Datamaker. 
2. Sign in and connect to the repository. 
3. Connect to the desired target and source profiles.
4. Click on the 'Security' menu at the top of the toolbar.
5. Choose 'Users and Groups' from the drop down menu.
6. Sign in with your administrator credentials. 
7. In the 'Maintain Security' window that appears, click on the 'System Settings' tab. 
8. In the 'AD Group' text box, specify the Active Directory name for the AD column. The user must be a member of the AD group in order to log into Datamaker once this setting has been updated. 
9. Click the 'Save' floppy disk icon.
