Managing Directory Services Configurations

AdminStudio Enterprise Server can be integrated with Windows Active Directory and Novell eDirectory. This
enables you to set up automatic login with AdminStudio Enterprise Server based upon Directory Services
authentication.
If you import a Group, all members of that group could then login to AdminStudio Enterprise Server without
requiring you to import the individual members of the Group. AdminStudio Enterprise Server can then retrieve user
attributes, such as email address or telephone number, from the Directory Service dynamically.

Server with a Directory Service users and group, you set up a Directory Service Connection.

Adding a Directory Service Connection
Directory Services Connections are used to import users and groups into AdminStudio Enterprise Server, and to
authenticate Active Directory or eDirectory users logging into AdminStudio Enterprise Server.
You can choose to have a Directory Service listed in the Domain list on the AdminStudio Enterprise Server login
page. This enables users in this Directory Service to login to AdminStudio Enterprise Server using their enterprise
network credentials.
