Users Guide

NOTE: An Active Directory user is authenticated against the specific Active Directory Domain that a

user belongs to.

NOTE: While logging in to 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 Directory Services page displays the following information about the ASM active directories:

• Host IP address

• Name

• Directory Type

From this screen, you can:

• Add a directory service.

• Edit or Delete an existing directory service.
