Hi Oksar,

 

The procedure should be the same as on-prem EMS:

    emmm... So what? I need open port from the internet to my AD servers?

    So how can i do this safely? bcs open port to AD servers is not very secure options.

    You have to indeed open port to at least your EMS Cloud server public IP.
    You can locate your EMS public IP in the about tab at the bottom left when you login to EMS Cloud.

      Opening Ports to LDAPs or much worse to Windows AD servers on Your firewall is insecure!

       

      To end all that bad guessing. There is an ADConnector. See FortiDocs here: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticlient/7.2.2/ems-administration-guide/787816/ad-connector

        That appears to be for On-prem EMS. Is there an option for cloud EMS?

        Hi @smalls ,

         

        AD Connector can be setup for EMS Cloud as well. In fact the purpose for AD Connector is usually for EMS Cloud, but it is still very niche usage, since it increases management overhead (you will have to upgrade Connector version when EMS version is upgraded).
