Workflow Manager 6.0 / AdminStudio Enterprise Server 11.5
Workflow Manager and AdminStudio Enterprise Server can be integrated with Windows Active Directory and Novell eDirectory. This enables you to set up automatic login with Workflow Manager based upon directory service authentication.
If you import a group, all members of that group can then login to Workflow Manager without requiring you to import them individually. Workflow Manager can then retrieve attributes, such as email address or telephone number, from the directory service dynamically.
You may also add data elements to your workflow templates which, for accounts imported from directory services, will be directly populated from directory service attributes (such as account name, email address or location).
All directory service-related tasks can be managed starting from the Directory Services page, which you can access by selecting the Directory Services sub-tab of the main Administration tab.
The Directory Services page includes the following options:.

Manage Directory Service Connections |
Click to open the Directory Services List Page where you can set up connections to Active Directory and eDirectory directory services. |
|
Manage Directory Service Attributes |
Click to open the Directory Services Attributes Administration Page where you can map directory service attributes, which can be used when defining data elements. When a data element is defined as a directory service attribute, when this data element appears during a data entry step in a workflow, information about the logged in user will be pulled from the directory service to populate those fields, such as: department, location, employee number, etc. |
