DC 4.10.0 - Description of Active Directory

Upon user login, username and users affiliation is queried against existing AD database. This is done using the specified ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTH_USER (query-user) which serves as a proxy and queries the entered information against the existing database.

If the user exists in the AD, information about user groups and affiliation is transferred to Digizuite™ DAM Center and paired against groups marked as active AD groups, based on "Active Directory Group Name". If a match can be found, user is paired and allocated with groups in the Digizuite™ DAM Center similar to those in the AD-database.

Note: If the user is removed from existing AD groups, this will be reflected inside the Digizuite™ DAM Center.
