Test Connection in Active Directory Sync Integration Fails

Symptoms​

The following symptoms are present in affected environments:

  • In Netwrix Threat Manager (NTM), the test connection fails when you attempt to configure the Active Directory Sync Integration.
  • The Threat Manager Console is configured to use the HTTPS protocol.

Cause​

The Active Directory Service is misconfigured and cannot be connected to via HTTPS.

Resolution​

Edit the Active Directory Service configuration to use the HTTPS protocol:

  1. Go to the Web Service folder and locate the appsettings.json file. The default location is:

    C:\Program Files\Stealthbits\StealthDEFEND\WebService

  2. Locate the "ADService" node and change the Scheme value to https. For example:

    "ADService": {
      "Host": "localhost",
      "Scheme": "https",
      "Port": "55556"
    },

  3. Locate or create the JWT node. Specify the relevant certificate values. For example:

    "Jwt": {
        "CertificateFile": "C:\\ProgramData\\Stealthbits\\StealthDEFEND\\WebService\\%certificateName%.pfx",
        "CertificatePassword": "%password%",
        "CertificateThumbprint": "%thumbprint%",
        "Version": 2
    },

  4. Save the changes.
