Intended use: Prospects and Opportunities

What is Active Directory?

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft product that manages user accounts on a network. The account you login to your computer every day is an Active Directory account.

What do we offer?

With AD integration with a client's website they will be able to use the same username and password for the website as they do on their work computers. Our integration supports the following account types:

1. CMS users
2. CMS super users
3. Extranet (Member) users

What benefits are there for our clients to integrate AD?

• There is no need to keep/manage (usernames, passwords etc) a separate account for the website users
• Users will not have to keep track of multiple accounts; desktop and website

How do we do the integration?

We have a Vision AD web service that is placed on the client's network that connects their AD with their website. IT personnel will generally need to be involved for the initial install but needs no continuous oversight.

Additional Modules

Active Directory Federation Services

If the client is already using Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) on their network, this module can be added to the AD integration. ADFS allows the client to automatically log in (also referred to as single-sign-on) to the Extranet/Intranet using Member Accounts. ADFS is not currently available for CMS Users and Super Users.
