9. Authentication Server
This chapter introduces the new features and enhancements of Authentication Server
9.1 Importing Users and Groups from Active Directory
To avoid creating user accounts manually in Authentication Server, you can import groups
and users from Microsoft’s Active Directory. You will need to install Active Directory on a
Windows Server 2008 and set up groups and users in the Active Directory before following
the steps below.
Note:
1. This feature only supports Windows Server 2008.
2. User accounts in Active Directory need to be grouped into Groups settings first,
because only groups can be imported into Authentication Server.
1. On the Authentication Server window, click the Account Setup
button and select
AD Setup to access the active directory setup page. This dialog box appears.
