Planning for using Active Directory with the product.

Active Directory (AD) is the default user manager installed on most environments. Using Active Directory as the user manager in the product is the simplest option. Using AD means you do not need to do any additional planning before installing the product, and requires a small amount of preparation as long as AD is used in your domain.

See the topics: Preparing the system for Active Directory and Configuring the Active Directory User Manager (ADUM) for more information.
