5.5.2 Manage AD (Active Directory) Domain Connection

 

The AD Domain Connection stores information about where and how AgilityBMS’s connection to Active Directory is configured. AgilityBMS supports connections to multiple domains across the network. Each domain must contain the following information:

      • Domain name - The name the Domain is known by
      • Fully Qualified Name - The full name of the Domain
      • Username - the Username of an Active User on the Domain
      • Password - the above User's Password.The password is masked in the System Settings dialogue box.


Note that AgilityBMS requires an Active User on each Domain in order to communicate with Active Directory. It is recommended that a specific User is created on each domain for this purpose, with the password set never to expire. This will ensure that AgilityBMS is always able to communicate with each domain.


Other options are related to issuing of licences in the User Suite.


Automatically create licences for New Users accessing the User Suite allow creation of Users with both Logins and Persons when a User accesses the User Suite for the first time.
