This section describes the procedures for configuring users defined in Microsoft Active Directory (AD) as
Enterprise Server administrators. It describes how to grant the necessary permissions to the Windows users defined in AD, and how to configure
Enterprise Server to use AD as its security manager.
With this configuration:
- Windows users are stored in Active Directory, but
Enterprise Server does not use Windows user authentication to authenticate administrators. You maintain user information and
Enterprise Server administrator passwords using your LDAP management software.
- Other user attributes (for example operator class) are stored as additional attributes of the Windows user objects in AD
Note: The content in this topic assumes that you have read the previous content, and are familiar with Active Directory and LDAPs.
