Depending on the size and complexity of the import, the import operation might prevent users
from logging on, browsing, checking in, or doing on work on the server
Upon import, Interplay creates a new user group and subfolder called MICROSOFT under
Imported Users in the User Management view. It imports all the users authenticated on the
Windows domain that are not currently in the Interplay user database. These users are
imported to the MICROSOFT group and have the default role of No Access. Users can then
be moved to different groups to gain a new user role. See
“Managing Database Roles” on
page 133
.
Users that are already in the Interplay user database during a Windows Domain User import
are added to the MICROSOFT group again but retain the group placement and role they
already had.
n
New users added to the Windows domain are not continually imported to the CCS. You need to
add them manually. See “Adding Users Manually” on page 126.
Setting LDAP Authentication and Importing Users
If you select the LDAP Authentication option, a user can log in to Interplay databases with an
LDAP user name and password. Interplay supports LDAP Version 2 and LDAP Version 3.
