1.5 Creating User Accounts

Configuring Active Directory synchronization

  1. After installing and licensing MetaDefender Vault, go to Settings → Active Directories

  2. In order to add users through Active Directory, just go through the AD Settings page and complete with valid data. Information regarding each field can be found here: 8.5 Active Directories

Manually creating accounts

  1. After installing and licensing MetaDefender Vault, go to Users → Local Users

  2. Follow User Management for step by step instructions on how to add local users.

Note on licensing

Without a valid license(license is on valid time and has enough user count slot), an administrator can still configure the product with AD as desired but users will not be able to login or upload files and can't manually add local users. In order to get complete functionality, ensure expected behavior, and stay compliant with OPSWAT terms and conditions, you must have a valid license activated.
