We left off outlining the benefits of implementing Single Sign-on allowing users to access multiple applications with a single set of credentials. This post will provide the benefits of utilizing Active Directory, “AD”. Active Directory enables administrators to manage permissions and access to network resources. The primary benefits of AD include centralized management of user accounts, permissions, and policy settings. Accounts are established by administrators in a centralized location allowing employees to login once and access their authorized resources. Through the establishment of “security groups” administrators can restrict unauthorized users from accessing certain resources. The implementation of security settings such as password changes, screen lock out times and software install policies can be efficiently implemented across the organization utilizing “group policy” improving the effectiveness of the associated policies.

Have you integrated AMS Connect with Active Directory to ensure your data base of active users remains in sync and only authorized users have access to the application? If not, contact your Senior Account Manager for more information.
