Hi,
We upgraded from LF 9.0.2 to LF 9.2 this past weekend and as part of this, we had upgraded from Licensne Manager 8.3.1 to the new Laserfiche Directory Server(LFDS). Once done we successfully managed to import the existing License Database and was able to work from there.
We where able to setup 2 Organisation to segregate our License pool and assign rights accordingly for which people had access to add new Users per Organisation.
Today we had the first instance of creating a new user on the LFDS. What I found a bit strange is the Identity Providers step required for adding a user. We had setup a specific Identity provider with a specified account that has access to that Active Directory server, but when the Admin user tried to find the User, it would prompt him for an Account Name and password to be used. If you then enter the same details, it takes it and the User details is returned. Without closing the Browser, you can then search for another user, and it would find him/her without prompting for the Windows Account detail again.
Yet, if you close the browser and then go to add a user again, once again the user is prompted for the Windows Account details.
I went through the help file, but there was not to much info on this as it still indicated Beta Documentation.
What I would like to confirm is, when setting up the provider and specifying the Account details to use, for searching against AD, surely it should not ask the user again when they choose that specific provider? we do not want to make the Account details know to every admin that need to administer licenses, and therefor it if is going to ask for the credentials every time it can cause a security risk for us.
Is there something we are doing wrong? or something we are potentially missing in the config side?
We are moving into a structure where the entire Group will be allocating licenses form the central LFDS so we would expect, seeing as this will work with different identity providers, that we could setup and save the accounts to be used for each and then grant the relevant rights for which users can add in which Organisation unit and identity provider.
