    Authentication Question

      A rep from our VAR came onsite to install our PDMWorks Enterprise evaluation, and during setup, I said we would be using the Active Directory authentication option for our users. He highly recommended using the integrated authentication because it allows for more granular security on folders, so that's how he installed it. I don't know exactly what he is referring to as I haven't gotten that far along with testing, but I did scan the administration guide and I see no mention of the two authentication schemes being different.

      Can anyone comment? Jason

          Not sure why he said that. We are using Active Directory for authentication. Authorization for who can see which projects is handled by groups we created in PDMWorks Enterprise. We add the AD user into PDMWorks Ent. and then add the user to the appropriate group.

          Hope this helps. Mike
