Set domain controllers in FactoryLogix Office

KB ARTICLE

Overview

This article describes how to configure a specific Active Directory domain controller (DC) in FactoryLogix Office, both for the login process and for adding Active Directory objects to the system. Specifying a domain controller prevents FactoryLogix from querying multiple controllers and reduces login delays.

Set a domain controller for Active Directory login

  1. Log into FactoryLogix Office.

  2. Navigate to System Configuration > Settings.

  3. In the settings list, select the All category.

  4. Press Ctrl+F to open the search box, then enter the word active.

  5. In the Active Directory domain field, enter the domain controller in the format DC=<DomainControllerName>, then save your changes. FactoryLogix will now authenticate Active Directory logins against only this domain controller.

Set a domain controller for adding Active Directory objects

  1. Log into FactoryLogix Office.

  2. Navigate to System Configuration > Users and Roles.

  3. Select Add, then select Active Directory Object.

  4. In the Location field, enter the domain controller in the format DC=<DomainControllerName>. FactoryLogix will query only this domain controller when searching for Active Directory users or objects.
