3.4.3 Evaluating operations using external authentication linkage

External authentication linkage allows JP1/AO to link with JP1/Base or Active Directory.

• Linking with JP1/Base

  If you wish to have JP1/AO use JP1 users managed by other JP1 products, consider using the JP1/Base authentication function for user management.

  If you use the JP1/Base authentication function, there is no need to manage users or roles in JP1/AO.

• Linking with Active Directory

  If you wish to have JP1/AO use Active Directory users and groups, consider linking with Active Directory for user management. This linkage can be used if JP1/AO uses Active Directory as an LDAP directory server.

  When you link JP1/AO with Active Directory, you can select whether to link groups. In both cases, user authentication is performed by Active Directory.

  • If you do not link groups:

    Users are registered to or deleted from user groups in JP1/AO.

    Therefore, the same users registered in Active Directory must also be registered in JP1/AO. At this time, there is no need to set a password.

  • If you link groups:

    Groups in Active Directory are registered as JP1/AO user groups. At this time, users are registered to or deleted from user groups in Active Directory.

    Therefore, there is no need to register a user in JP1/AO.
