Responder and Active Directory OUs

This page summarizes how Responder works with Organizational Units (OUs) within an Active Directory (AD) environment.

Key Points:

1. Current Capability:
   • Once the Active Directory integration is complete, the AIR will display the domain on the Assets page.
   • Users can filter assets by clicking on their Organization Unit on the Assets page. Further filtering for “Managed Status in Managed” will show assets where the Responder is installed.
   • To limit the sync to a specific OU, set the Organizational Unit field in the Active Directory integration. See Active Directory.
2. Installation Note:
   • The AIR Responder will report on systems where it is installed. It does not automatically install on systems within an AD environment where it is not already installed.

Note

Integrating AIR with Active Directory: Permissions Information

When integrating AIR with Active Directory, it is important to note that the account used for this integration does not require Domain Admin permissions. The integration primarily involves LDAP searches for reading directory information. Therefore, having Domain Users permission is sufficient for LDAP integration with AIR. This ensures that the necessary operations can be performed securely without granting excessive privileges.
