Add a New User Account - Windows AD Account

In an established, enterprise network environment, the support for Windows AD (Active Directory)
infrastructure enables ease of integration using the credentials of existing users. Using the same AD
authentication methodologies, you can configure the clients or users in an established network to access
the VAST server configuration.
Note the following with Windows AD support:
1. The ST7501 software does not support Windows AD accounts. However, if you log in to a VAST server
which supports Windows AD accounts, the AD account will work for an ST7501 sub-station managed
by VAST.
2. If you install VAST server on a Windows XP machine with Postqre SQL server, the login using a
Windows AD account will not work.
3. The VAST server must reside in a domain managed by the AD server.
4. This function does not support the environment that spans across multiple AD domains.
5. A user account hosted by an AD server cannot be modified in VAST.
6. A User Group and its members configured in AD cannot be managed in VAST.
7. You cannot add an account having the same name as one you used to log in VAST.
8. There are 3 types of account for VAST: VIVOTEK account, AD single user, AD group.
