User Login to AD

Password Depot uses LDAP (instead of WinNT). A user UPN (User Principal Name) can be retrieved from the Active Directory. However, this feature is only available after manual or automatic synchronization with AD in the Server Manager.

This means that Windows domain users can be authenticated on the Password Depot Enterprise Server by using both forms of "User logon name":

1) <NetBIOS domain name>\<sAMAccountName> – this is the classic WinNT form (before Windows 2000)

EXAMPLE: MICROSOFT\Test

2) User Principal Name (which normally has the form <sAMAccountName>@<DNS domain name>)

EXAMPLE: test@microsoft.com

3) If there are not multiple users with the same name from different trusted domains in the network, a user can use the simple form <sAMAccountName>.

EXAMPLE: Test

This means that an AD user can use exactly the same credentials to log on to the Enterprise Server that they use when logging on to a Windows domain account.
