File server trillian

The user directory step is where you determine where Trillian Server should source your users from. You can either add them by hand using the internal directory option or connect Trillian Server to an Active Directory or OpenLDAP environment and import your users from there. When importing, you must provide the distinguished name DN of the container you want Trillian Server to source users from.

Note that when Trillian Server looks for users, it attempts to crawl all the children of the DN you provide, including OUs and actual group objects. The value of this DN will depend entirely on your particular layout, but Trillian Server will suggest a default to try if you're unsure. Take the opportunity to review your users; if things look incorrect, simply press the back button in the upper left and try again. During this step, Trillian Server is performing the actual import of your users into its internal database.

If all goes well, you will be moved to the dashboard and can begin testing clients and tweaking settings! These sections are intended for use by the individual s who will be responsible for the day-to-day administration of Trillian Server within their organization. A successful Trillian Server installation and initial configuration is assumed - if you have yet to perform these steps, please start with the getting started guide first.

Users are those individuals that you've chosen to import into or add to Trillian Server. Every non-disabled user has access to sign into your Trillian environment. A user's first and last name are used throughout Trillian Server to refer to the user. They are also used as the basis for the initially calculated user display name, which can be changed later by users or administrators. Separate from the first and last name is the display name, or "IM Display Name". This is the value that will be displayed to other Trillian users if they have this user on their contact list.

The main purpose of a separate display name versus just leveraging first and last names is so that administrators can easily locate employee "Tricia McMillan" but Tricia can opt to appear as "Trillian" to her co-workers. To sync changes from LDAP:. When a user is disabled, that user will be disconnected from Trillian Server and no longer able to sign in. Chat history and all user settings will be preserved for disabled users. You can also disable a user manually:.

When a user is deleted, that user will be disconnected from Trillian Server and no longer be able to sign in. Additionally, deleting a user permanently deletes their chat history and any of their uploaded media. To delete a user:. Groups allow you to visually organize your users by department, geographical location, or anything else that feels right for your company.

Groups are utilized a few different ways in a Trillian environment:. If you do, as users are imported into Trillian Server they will automatically be added to the groups who are bound to DNs that they belong to on the LDAP side.

Trillian clients support groups-within-groups; you can achieve this by assigning a group another group as its parent. This is a purely visual relationship and has no bearing on policy enforcement or anything else. The policy currently bound to this group. Users who are added to this group will automatically inherit this policy. Trillian Server only allows users to belong to a single group. In the event that a user belongs to more than one group on the LDAP side, Trillian Server will make a best effort attempt at selecting the right group to use.

If you wish to control this selection, you can optionally assign priority to your groups after adding them. Groups with higher priority are used first. By default, new groups are created in an "everyone-can-see-everyone-else" environment. To change this, you can modify individual group visibility to determine which other groups a given group should be seeing on its contact list and vice versa.

As soon as you check or uncheck a group inside the visibility page, connected Trillian clients will update accordingly and add or remove contacts to reflect your changes.

There is no need to restart either the server or client after making visibility changes. Group chats are many-to-many conversations that persist on the server.

Use them to bring teams together into a single place that encourages collaborative and focused communication. Group chat membership can be controlled by administrators directly, bound to group objects, or even free-form, allowing users to come and go as they please. Some examples:. Displayed at the top of the group chat window within the Trillian client, topic are often used to keep chat members aware of the current status of a given milestone, event, or just used to leave goofy messages for a team.

Think of them as a way to answer the question "what's the purpose of this group chat? Operator status can be assigned to one or more members, and operators can assign operatur status to other members at any time. There are a handful of different settings exposed to administrators and operators:. Policies let you control various features of the Trillian client and Trillian Server. Manage cloud history settings, enable or disable third-party IM, enable or disable file transfers, etc.

Login Username Any user with access to crawl AD will work. After importing users from Active Directory, a preview screen will appear showing you the users and groups Trillian Server has found. You should take the opportunity to review your users and groups here; if things look incorrect, simply press the back button and provide new DNs to try again.

You can also disable users and modify user groups on this screen as well as control whether or not Trillian Server should use the UPN or email address from AD for the import. Users Right click to disable users or groups. You can also choose a different group for users who exist in more than one group on the AD side. During this step, Trillian Server is performing the actual import of your users into its internal databases.

If all goes well, you will be moved to the dashboard. By default, Trillian Server performs daily backups of its internal database. Backups are stored in a day-of-the-week grandfathering system "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", etc and are subsequently overwritten every 7 days. In addition to on-site backups of your databases, we recommend you make a backup of your trillianserver. This file contains important information relating to your Trillian Server installation that cannot be otherwise recovered, and is also not a part of the standard on-site backup!

When using local storage, no off-site backups are performed by Trillian Server. You should use the backup strategy of your choice to copy your on-site backups to an off-site location. Download Support Sign in Introduction 2. Hardware Requirements 3.
