How to Enable Your Active Directory Login

From Dallas Makerspace
Jump to: navigation, search

Several Dallas Makerspace resources are accessed through your Active Directory (AD) login account.


Active Directory Is Used To Access These Resources

I don't think these are available any more:

Create/enable your Active Directory (AD) login account through WHMCS (aka "the billing system")

NOTE: Only members with an account in WHMCS will be able to do this, at this time. NOTE: Add-on (AKA "Family Members") accounts are managed through Maker Manager

  • Log in at: https://accounts.dallasmakerspace.org/accounts/clientarea.php
  • In the top-right corner, click the drop down menu that says "Hello, YOURFIRSTNAME!"
  • Click "Edit Account Details"
  • Take note of your username near the bottom. That is the username of your LDAP/AD account (once created). DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE YOUR USERNAME!
  • Correct any personal information if necessary.
  • Click "Save Changes" at the bottom, even if you made no changes.
  • Go back to the top-right corner ("Hello, YOURFIRSTNAME!") and click your name on the dropdown menu again
  • Click "Change Password" and enter in your current password in all three fields. At this time, special characters are not supported.
  • Click the blue "Save Changes" button.
