OpenLM Directory Sync
The OpenLM Directory Sync enables organizations to synchronize their OpenLM database with their directory service. Currently, this is possible for directories that follow the LDAP protocol (e.g. Active Directory, ApacheDS, or eDirectory).
Synchronization offers multiple benefits:
Benefits for management:
Enforcing license usage permissions
Implementing usage charge-back (usage billing)
Analysis of usage trends per group, department
Benefits for administrators:
Automating license rules and restrictions (through the OpenLM License Allocation Manager)
Â
Streamlining license usage reporting, according to LDAP User and Group data.
Benefits for end-users:
- Viewing specific user information via OpenLM Agent to help locate users that are holding a required license
- Authenticating to OpenLM’s EasyAdmin via Windows Authentication. To read more about this option see the following link:User Interface Windows Authentication.
