How to install and configure RemoteAD

The setup is very simple. All you need to do is install the AD Service to a server joined to the AD you wish to integrate and point this to your Thinfinity® Remote Desktop. Follow the steps below to install it and configure both parts:
Run the setup on the server you wish to integrate its AD with.
On the first screen press ‘Next’
Accept the license agreement and hit ‘Next’.
If you wish to change the installation directory, you may do so by clicking ‘Change…’, if not, just press ‘Next’.
Press ‘Install’
After the installation is done, press ‘Finish’
To run the manager of Thinfinity® Remote Desktop AD Services you will need to start a command line as admin, then navigate to “C:\ProgramData\Cybele Software\Thinfinity\Remote Desktop Server\DB” and run call the exe with the argument below:
Thinfinity.RemoteDesktop.RemoteAD.exe /manage
You should see the screen below:
In here, you need to configure the ‘Network ID’, this must match with the Network ID you have configured in your Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Gateway(s) and Broker(s).
Then, click on ‘Add’ and enter your Gateway’s public URL:
Once you finish installing Thinfinity® Remote Desktop AD Services, there are a few settings we have to update back on the Broker server. 
On each one of them, you will have to enable this service by editing “C:\ProgramData\Cybele Software\Thinfinity\Remote Desktop Server\DB\Thinfinity.RemoteDesktop.Server.ini”. In here, you will need to enable the DirectoryServices under the ‘General’ tab:
[General]
DirectoryServices=true
Bear in mind that the ‘General’ flag most surely exists already. Just add the “DirectoryServices=true” in here. 
Now you must go to “C:\ProgramData\Cybele Software\Thinfinity\Remote Desktop Server\DB\” and create a JSON called “directory.services.json”. You will have to edit this and add:

{
    "Services":[
         {"id":"cybelesoft","name":"Cybele AD","filter":"cybelesoft\\\\.+","url":"/[email protected]__/dirsvc/api/v1/"}
               ]
         } 

Description:
ID: Reference ID to identify the AD Mapping
Name: A descriptive name to identify the mapping in Thinfinity® Remote Desktop’s manager.
Filter: You must enter the domain name as the user would type it in. You can add a wild card expression as above (.+) so it will map any username under this domain. Keep in mind, you will have to add 4 backslashes “\\\\” after the domain name.
URL (registration parameter): You have to enter the domain name URL under the following format “[email protected][domain]__”. 
Keep in mind that you will have to create a separate mapping (ID) for each Remote AD you wish to join to Thinfinity® Remote Desktop, separated by a comma (,).
