The Smart ID Digital Access component user accounts can reuse and read information already existing in a directory service, for example in Microsoft's Active Directory.
There are three ways to create user accounts:
-
Add user account wizard
Use the Add user account wizard to create user accounts by manually entering values and settings. With the wizard you can make a large number of settings for the account. Use the wizard when the majority of user accounts are already registered and you want to add one or a few more. -
User linking in Digital Access
User linking is used when you want to create a user account based on an existing user in your company's directory service, for example, Microsoft's Active Directory. With this method you add user accounts for one user at a time, according to your global user account settings , with links to the appropriate user storage location. The user storage must have been set up first. Linking can also be automatically done when a new user logs in to the system at the first time, depending on an authentication method. -
User import in Digital Access
User import is used to create user accounts by importing a file containing user information. The import file must be formatted according to specific rules, see the Digital Access online help for more information. When a user account is created through user import, the global user account settings are used by default if not otherwise specified in the import file.
