Directory Services
The Directory Services option allows you to add, edit or delete an Active Directory using the Directory
Services functionality. ASM can access these active directories to import users.
NOTE: An Active Directory user is authenticated against the specific Active Directory Domain that a
user belongs to.
NOTE: While logging into the ASM software, the Active Directory user is required to first enter the
directory name that a user belongs to, followed by the username, for example: domain/username.
The Settings → Users → Directory Services screen displays the following information about the Active
System Manager active directories:
• Host IP address
• Name
• Directory Type
From this screen, you can:
• Add a directory service.
• Edit or Delete an existing directory service.
