Active Directory

If your organization uses Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to manage the users on your network, you can connect to your Active Directory (AD) server and import those users into ER2's user list.

Importing a user list from your AD server copies your Active Directory user list into ER2. Changes made to ER2's user list does not affect the list imported from Active Directory.

Once the Active Directory user list is imported, ER2 will authenticate users with the Active Directory server.

1. Log into the ER2 Web Console.
2. Go to Users > Active Directory.
