  • Note: E-mail addresses listed in the E-mail address field for the user in Active Directory will be auto detected and imported into Quickpass. Users without an e-mail address will be required to be manually entered after the user is imported.

The end-user account will now appear in the End-User Accounts menu.

Note: In this use case Microsoft Azure AD Connect will look after synchronizing the password between Active Directory and Office 365 so there is no need to import or match the account with Office 365 from Quickpass. 

***Important***: Quickpass will enhance AD Connect by automatically running the AD Connect Delta update PowerShell script, if the agent is installed on the system running AD Connect, whenever we detect a password reset in Active Directory or from our system. This eliminates the default time delay for AD Connect to sync passwords between Active Directory and Office 365. 

 

Local Accounts

  1. If you have selected Local Accounts to Import from, you will be shown a list of all of the Active Directory Member Computers or Standalone Computers that you currently have an Agent installed on.

Hybrid Environments without Microsoft Azure AD Connect

Note: Choose this option if you want Quickpass to synchronize end-user account Active Directory or Local Accounts and O365 passwords instead of using Microsoft Azure AD Connect. 

NOTE: In order for the Password Sync from Quickpass to match the Office 365 Password Policy, you must ensure that the Active Directory source Domain has a Group Policy setting that includes - Password length of 8 or more, and Complexity Enabled.  Selecting the Password Sync: ON option will force these settings changes to your Group Policy.

2. Click +ADD ACCOUNTS button

3. Select Password Sync: On for either Active Directory or Local Accounts then click the CONTINUE button

Auto Match

Alternatively, Quickpass can automatically match the Account with an Office 365 mailbox account if the Display Names for the accounts match. 

To use the auto match feature click the AUTOMATCH button.

Once the matches are found you will be shown a summary screen. 

Note: Matching is done via Display Name field. If the AD and O365 Display Name match Quickpass will present these as a match. 

When done click the ADD button

After the end-user accounts are imported you will notice that both the Active Directory or Local Status and Office 365 status dots are green.

Note

  • When the AD/O365 Password Sync is On the email address will be taken from the Office 365 mailbox while all other user info will be taken from Active Directory.

  • When the AD/O365 Password Sync is Off the email address is taken from Active Directory if you are only importing an account from Active Directory or from Office 365 when only importing the account from Office 365.

  • For Active Directory only accounts if the email address was not in Active Directory user object email field you will need to type the email address for the user then press tab or click in another area on the page to accept it.
