Adding Users to a Central Configuration Server
109
Adding Users to a Central Configuration Server
There are several ways to add users to a Central Configuration Server:
• Automatically adding Avid Unity (shared-storage) users. These users are added to the CCS
the first time they log in. They log in using their Avid Unity username and password. For
more information, see
“Setting Avid ISIS Authentication” on page 111.
• Importing users from a Windows domain or LDAP directory. You need to use the User
Authentication Providers view to import these users. They log in using their Windows or
LDAP username and password. For more information, see
“Setting Windows Domain
Authentication and Importing Users” on page 113
and “Setting LDAP Authentication and
Importing Users” on page 114
.
• Individually creating users. You need to use the User Management view to create individual
users. They log in using the username and password that you set. For more information, see
“Adding Users Manually” on page 126.
Setting User Authentication Providers and Importing
Users
The User Authentication Providers view lets you set the type of authentication users need to
provide when logging in to Interplay. You can select one or more of the following authentication
providers:
• Avid Unity
• Windows Domain
•LDAP
Selecting these providers lets users log in without requiring them to use an additional username
and password for Interplay. You still have the option of creating individual users specifically for
Interplay (see
“Adding Users Manually” on page 126).
The User Authentication Providers view lets you import users from a Windows domain or LDAP
server. You do not need to explicitly import Avid Unity users; they are imported at the time they
log in.
Information from this view is saved in the CCS (see
“Understanding the Central Configuration
Server” on page 104
).
