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.

Directory Service Connections
—Rather than creating a user account for each person who will use
AdminStudio Enterprise Server, you can import users from Windows Active Directory or Novell eDirectory
directory services. For information on integrating AdminStudio Enterprise Server with Directory Service users
and groups, see
Managing Directory Services Connections
.

Directory Service Attributes
—
When creating a Workflow Manager Template, you can set a Data Element’s
Data Type
to
Directory Service
. This means that when a Directory Service authenticated user performs the
Workflow Step that requests that Data Element, information is pulled from the Directory Service to
automatically populate the field, such as that user’s name, email address, or location. For information on
enabling the use of Directory Service Attributes, see
Managing Directory Services Attributes
.

For more information about Directory Services and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), see

on the Microsoft TechNet Web site.
Managing Directory Services Connections
Rather than creating a user account for each person who will use AdminStudio Enterprise Server, you can import
users from Windows Active Directory or Novell eDirectory directory services. To integrate AdminStudio Enterprise
Server with a Directory Service users and group, you set up a
Directory Service Connection
.
This section includes the following topics:
•
Adding a Directory Service Connection

Deleting 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.
