Configure the following connection setting to connect to the Netwrix Activity Monitor archive via an API Server:

  • Port – Enter the API server port. The default is 4494.

  • Encrypt communication with target server (SSL) – Allows the Active Directory Activity Data Collector to communicate with the SAM API Server over a secure channel

    • Ignore certificate errors? – Ignores untrusted certificate authority errors and allows the scan to continue

  • Test SAM host – Enter the Activity Monitor API server name in a qualified domain name format. Click Connect to test the connection. A successful result populates the following section with a Refresh token.

  • Exclude – Select archives to be ignored by the Active Directory Activity DC scan

    Save the Refresh token to a Text Editor for later use. The Refresh token resets each time you connect using the Test SAM host option. If it regenerates, replace it in the Connection profile.

  • Refresh token – After generation, it must replace the old Access Token from the SAM API Server configuration in the Connection Profiles required to connect to the API Server
