ACTIVE DIRECTORY INTEGRATION
FEATURES
The instructions below are for Active Directory Integration with Server Software version 3.6.36 and
above.
•
The recorder server does not need to be joined to the Domain. The recorder server will query
the Active Directory server for accounts and authorization levels.
•
The recorder server creates groups within Active Directory for each of the permissions on the
recorder. Simply join a Domain user to these groups to provide access to that function in the
recorder.
•
Recorder access within Active Directory is based on the Site Code within the recorder
software. This allows an administrator to group recorders with the same Site Code.
•
Remote and Multi-Site management software works with Active Directory logins.
