Find an External Domain User Group

Use the external membership tool to find the name of an external domain user group so that it can be later mapped to a local (internal) user group.

If you are using RADIUS for external authentication, you can use this tool to test external users once an external domain server is configured and returns a list of external domain user groups to which the external domain user was assigned. This makes finding the proper external domain user group names that you need to map to the local user group easier so that the external domain user group can inherit its authorization privileges. Once you find the external domain user group you want, see the Add and Map a Local User Group to an External Domain User Group section of this chapter to continue.

1. Expand the Security Manager slider and select User Management, Groups.
2. In the User Groups pane, select the local group name that you are using for the external RADIUS user group (for example, MyExternalRADIUSUserGroup) and click Edit.
3. In the Configuration tab, enter the external group name (for example, Domain Users) and click Apply and Test.
   The Test group membership dialog box displays with results for the external group with a list of domain controller group names.
