Implementing NT domain integration (Windows only)

If you use NT domain integration, you cannot use M-Business Server to modify user names, passwords, or other related attributes of users. User authentication is administered through the NT domain user management. All M-Business-specific information about these users is still maintained through the Administrator Console.

By default, when you install M-Business Server with NT domain integration, all users on the domains that you specify immediately can use M-Business Server. However, after installing M-Business Server with NT domain integration, you do not see any users when you first access the M-Business Server administration pages. Authenticate users in one of two ways:

  • Individually – when a user synchronizes or logs on to the UI using his Windows user name and password, M-Business Server uses the NT domain controller to validate the user’s Windows user name and password and automatically creates an account for that user.

    By default, users are added individually. To disable the automatic creation of user accounts and limit the use of M-Business Server to just one group or domain of users, edit the configuration files to turn off the NTDomainAutoCreateAccount preference. See Autocreating user accounts from an integrated NT domain (Windows only). In this case, add users to and delete users from M-Business Server by using the AGDomainSync tool. See Using the AGDomainSync tool.

  • By running the AGDomainSync tool – to authenticate all users at one time, use the AGDomainSync tool. See Using the AGDomainSync tool.
