Settings

• Default domain
  To improve user experience enter the default domain, so users belonging to the domain can sign in with username. Users not belonging to the domain would have to sign in with domainname\username.

• Active Directory server address
  The address of your Active Directory (AD) server.

• Active Directory server port
  Default TCP ports:
  • Secure LDAPS: 636
  • LDAP: 389

• Enable secure LDAPS
  Uncheck this to use the LDAP protocol.
  Remember to set the port correctly.

• Network
  Select the network the Active Directory server is on. A computer with Printix Client must be online on that network, otherwise the on-premise Active Directory server can not be contacted for authentication and you will see the message: No connection to Active Directory server. We recommend installing Printix Client on an extra computer with permanent network access. You could for example install Printix Client on an existing on-premise server.

• Username
  Enter your network username (not saved) to test the connection.

• Password
  Enter your network password (not saved) to test the connection. The password must not contain the character hash (#).

*Sign in with username (Active Directory sAMAccountName) is supported by the web Printix App, but not the native Printix App for Android and iOS/iPadOS. Sign in with username is not support if you Sign in via printix.net.
