RESOLUTION:
1. Create a portal (If unique Login Schedule is required for each group a unique portal with unique domain or subdomain will be required for each unique login time):
- Go to Portals | Portal | Click Add Portal
- Click General Tab | Set unique Identifying Name.
- Click Login Schedule | Click Enable Login Schedule to set a limit on when this group can login | Click Enable Logout Schedule to force disconnect when out of the schedule on this portal | Click and drag to highlight the permitted time period to login.
- Click Virtual Host tab | Assign a unique Virtual Host Domain (Can be done with subdomains as long as DNS points to the SRA IP for each subdomain) | Click Accept
- Repeat Step 1 for each group
2. Create a main domain for AD:
- Go to Portals | Domain | Click Add Domain
- Put in the AD credentials for an Admin account in the AD server
- Select the portal for each of the custom groups.
3. Add Unique group for each group added to SRA
- Add a unique group in Active Directory for each group type added to the SRA | Add the proper group to each user. This will allow only logins to the proper group for each user.
- Repeat Step 3 for each group
4. Create additional group for each group that will use the domain.
- Go to Users | Local group | Click Add Group
- Add group name | Select the AD domain
- If the group name is the same as the AD group you can select the check box for Associate with AD group | Click Accept
- Repeat Step 4 for each group
5. Configure the group to only allow the AD group that has the privilege for the group created. (If the check box for Associate with AD Group was set in step 4 this step will not be needed)
- Go to Users | Local Groups | Click Configure next to the one of the groups created.
- Click AD Groups Tab | Click Add Group
- Add the proper group name as listed in AD server (case sensitive) | Click Accept
- Click Accept
- Repeat Step 4 for each group
Once these steps are complete only users assigned the specific group in AD server will be allowed to log into each portal and the login schedule will regulate time period for portal to be available.
If a login attempt is made to the incorrect sub-domain for the users group it will fail with the following error:
Login failed - no suitable group found.
