Active Directory ShoreWare Server Release Notes
Page 68
Users that are not authenticated through AD are required to enter their name, password
and server name. After verifying the user’s credentials, Call Manager guides the user
through the setup process.
Logging into Call Manager
Attempts to log into Call Manager after the initial setup are handled on the basis of the
user’s AD configuration. Active Directory users are authenticated by SSO through the
verification of their AD credentials. Users not configured for Active Directory are
authenticated through the verification of their ShoreTel username and password, as
previously loaded through their Call Manager account. In either case, users are typically
not required to re-enter their username or password each time they open Call Manager
from their computer.
Call Manager behavior when authentication fails is not changed by this feature.
User Name – Telephony Options panel
The User Name data field at the top of the Options and Preferences: Telephony panel
displays the user name of the Call Manager account. This field is read only for users
authenticated through AD credentials, as shown in Figure 28.
Web Client
When AD Integration is enabled, access to the Web Client is available to all users,
including users without domain accounts or not configured as ShoreTel AD users.
Attempts to log into Web Client always require the user to enter credential information.
Domain members configured as ShoreTel Active Directory members enter their Active
Directory user name and password and are authorized through Explicit Authentication. All
other users enter their ShoreTel username and password.
