How Information is Transferred from Active
Directory to Ektron CMS200/300
Ektron CMS200/300 does not write to the AD – it only reads from
it. This results in the following changes to how user information is
handled within Ektron CMS200/300.
• Once you enable AD integration, all changes to user and user
group information must be made in the AD -- the Ektron
CMS200/300 Edit User and User Group screens change to
primarily view screens.
• When adding a new user or user group toEktron CMS200/300,
you can only select users and groups in the AD. If the user or
user group does not exist in the AD, create them there first,
and then import the user or group into Ektron CMS200/300.
