Administering Domains
User information is obtained from one or more domains in which it is stored. FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications users entered manually into the application are users in the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications domain. Authentication information for a user in the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications domain is stored in the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications database.
Because FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications is configured to support LDAP, information for a FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications user or group of users can be imported from the directory service. Only enough information from the directory service is imported to enable FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications to contact the service; authentication information for individual users in a directory service domain is maintained in the directory service.
Any user in a configured directory service domain can log in to FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications. However, to perform any tasks in FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications, a directory service user must be imported as a FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications user or be a member of an imported group and be assigned at least one role.
