• By selecting one or more components from the default list that Enterprise Server provides
• By selecting additional components from a list of predefined fields
• By creating your own custom components
The fields for First Name, Last Name, and E-mail are all required for Enterprise Server—you cannot select, remove,
or modify these. However, you can modify any other existing field to designate it as required and to include a
descriptive comment, and do the same for any new fields that you create. You can also move a component up or down
in the profile list, depending on its importance.
Enterprise Server allows administrators to define policies for password management that are consistent with
industry best practices, including administrator password resets and special character requirements. These policies
are enforced across the Enterprise Server applications and allow administrators to align Enterprise Server with their
existing security policies. An administrator can govern the details that pertain to the organization’s Enterprise Server
account through the Administration tab in the web-based Enterprise Manager.
To learn more about Enterprise Server user administration, see the Adobe Connect Enterprise User Guide available
online at www.adobe.com/go/connect_documentation_en.
Adding users and groups
You can use three methods to add users and groups to your Enterprise Server implementation. These methods make
user management much easier than manual account definition:
• LDAP synchronization, which is described in detail in Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) synchro-
nization.
• Administrators can import users and groups using CSV files. If an organization’s directory has a utility for
exporting users and groups to CSV format, an administrator can use the web-based Import feature to import the
file into Enterprise Server.
• Adobe® Connect™ Enterprise Web Services APIs allow you to write custom scripts for user creation or other Enter-
prise Server administration tasks.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) synchronization
You can import users and groups into Enterprise Server from existing directories with compliant LDAP structures.
You can use the LDAP or secure LDAPS protocols.
Enterprise Server connects as an LDAP client to an LDAP directory, imports users and groups, and synchronizes
information about these imported users and groups in the Enterprise Server database with the external LDAP
directory. Integrating Enterprise Server with a directory server allows administrators to avoid manually adding users
individually to Enterprise Server. User and group accounts are created automatically in Enterprise Server through
manual or scheduled synchronizations with an organization’s directory service.
To ensure that user logins are synchronized across the organization, combine directory service integration with a
system for authenticating users. Using directory service integration and an HTTP-header or Windows NT LAN
Manager (NTLM)-based authentication method provides users with an automatic, single sign-on (SSO) experience
for Enterprise Server. A user who is logged on to their desktop using their network user name and password can then
access Enterprise Server services directly, bypassing the Enterprise Server login screen.
For additional information on Enterprise Server directory service integration and LDAP, see the Adobe Connect
Enterprise Server 6 Installation and Configuration Guide available online at
