Jenkins – Integration with Active Directory

Install the Active directory using Jenkins ->  Manage Jenkins -> Manage plugins

Now configure Active directory plugin from Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Configure Global Security

Under the Access Control – Security Realm, choose Active directory. Once you select the Active directory , click on the “Add domain” button 

Enter the details - 

Domain Name – nova.com

Domain Controller – “<ServerName>:3268” ( enter the server where the Active directory server runs and identify the port on where it is running)

For the Bind DN – Enter a User name. The bindDN DN is basically the credential you are using to authenticate against an LDAP. When using a bindDN it usually comes with a password associated with it.

Bind password – Enter the password for the above entered user ID

Once configured run the test domain and once successfully, we can now logout and login using the user name and password
