Connecting Active Directory to eB

Hi Chris,

When you download the eB set up you can see documentation folder which has system management console guide > Configuring communities >Active directory topic will give you brief idea.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks Deepti, that guide helped. My next question along the same lines is how do I import meta information from active directory. For example email addresses?

So I want this information to be imported for new users and existing users.

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

You can use provisioning spreadsheet to export/import the users data with the help of Professional services team.

HI Deepti,

Apart from using the provisioning spread sheet is there a way to import the email addresses directly from Active directory? Also I would be interested in pulling other information over is that possible? or is the Active directory integration only used for enabling and disabling users?

Thanks

Chris

Hi Carma,

The idea of a forum is to leave things open so more than just Bentley staff can answer questions. So as my query was not answered I would appreciate this being left open.

Who knows maybe, when Bentley do an upgrade of eB maybe they will look at these and put new features based on these unanswered forum threads.

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

We do not close the query if not answered. That is why we check with the owner of the query. Even when it is closed, it is still visible and anybody can go and search for answered queries. It will stay open and be re-checked in future until resolved.

Hope that answers your concern.
