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 specic Active Directory Domain that a user belongs to.
NOTE: While logging in to the ASM software, the Active Directory user is required to rst 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.
