Last updated on 2024-10-24 03:09:05

The Barracuda SecureEdge Manager allows administrators to configure the Barracuda Cloud Control user directory for the workspace.

Before You Begin

If you want to select users or groups from user directories such as BCC-linked Microsoft Entra ID or the BCC-linked LDAP directory for Site Authentication or Security Policies, you must first connect your directory with Barracuda Cloud Control in order to synchronize users and groups. After successful synchronization, you will be able to select your directory under the Environment drop-down list. For more information, see LDAP Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID and How to Connect Microsoft Entra ID with Barracuda Cloud Control .

Configure Barracuda Cloud Control

The user directory retrieves users and groups from multiple sources and syncs them into a selected Barracuda Cloud Control account. Multiple user sources are available. The configuration steps required depend on the user directory you use. To add the Barracuda Cloud Control user directory:

Go to https://se.barracudanetworks.com and log in with your existing Barracuda Cloud Control account.
In the left menu, click the Tenants/Workspaces icon and select the workspace you want to configure the user directory for.
In the left menu, click Identity and select Settings.
The Settings page opens. In the User Directories section, click Add User Directory.
From the drop-down menu, select Barracuda Cloud Control.
The Add User Directory page opens. Specify a value for the following:
- Environment – From the drop-down menu, select the environment.
- Groups Included – Enter the group to be included. To add more groups, click +. Note: For the group filter to work, you must provide the exact group name.
Click Save.
In the User Directories section, a new Barracuda Cloud Control user directory has been added and the STATUS is shown as Pending. The directory sync may take a few minutes.
After the directory sync is completed, verify that in the User Directories table, under the fieldname STATUS, the text has changed to Completed with a green check mark.

In addition, information under the fieldname LAST SYNC displays the time the last sync occurred. The fieldname SYNC RESULT displays the number of users or groups already synced. Verify that you see all Barracuda Cloud Control directory users and groups on the respective Identity > Users and Identity > Groups pages.

Edit Barracuda Cloud Control

To edit the Barracuda Cloud Control user directory:

In the left menu, click the Tenants/Workspaces icon and select the workspace you want to edit the Barracuda Cloud Control user directory for.
Go to Identity > Settings.
The Settings page opens. In the User Directories section, you can see that Barracuda Cloud Control is displayed as your user directory.
To edit your Barracuda Cloud Control account, click on the pencil icon.
The Edit User Directory page opens. Edit the value you are interested in. For example, you can modify the value for the field name Groups Included. Note: You cannot change the value for the environment because the option Environment is disabled.
Click Save.

Remove Barracuda Cloud Control

To remove the Barracuda Cloud Control user directory associated with your selected workspace:

In the left menu, click the Tenants/Workspaces icon and select the workspace you want to remove the Barracuda Cloud Control user directory for.
Go to Identity > Settings.
The Settings page opens. In the User Directories section, you can see that Barracuda Cloud Control is displayed as your user directory.
To remove your Barracuda Cloud Control account, click on the trash can icon.
The Delete User Directory <Name of Your User Directory> page opens.
Click Ok to confirm.

After the user directory is deleted, you can verify the following:

You can verify that the previous users/groups from the Barracuda Cloud Control user directory are not shown on the Identity > Users and Identity > Groups pages.
For your selected workspace, you can now configure a new user directory of your choice. You can verify that the users/groups from this new user directory are available in the security policies drop-down menu and are shown on the respective Identity > Users and Identity > Groups pages.

Caution before deleting your existing user/group directory via the Identity > Settings tab: If you delete a directory and add a new one (or add the same directory again), all existing security and access policies regarding your user/group directory must be updated. Users who are already enrolled will still have access. Please use the Enrolled Users page to manage who should be deleted.

(Optional) Sync With Barracuda Cloud Control

If you must sync the Barracuda Cloud Control user directory quickly, proceed with the following steps:

On the Settings page, go to the User Directories section, and click the icon of three vertical dots to sync the user directory.
Click Sync.
The User Directory sync started pop-up window opens.

You will soon see that the sync has fetched and updated the users and groups in the identity management associated with the Barracuda Cloud Control user directory. Verify that you see all Barracuda Cloud Control directory users and groups on the Identity > Users, Identity > Groups pages after successful sync.
