moving forms participant licenses to LFDS

Forms Directory Server
Updated June 27, 2017
asked on June 26, 2017

I have a client who has 322 participant licenses for LFForms. The last 123 were loaded directly into LFDS rather than LLForms. Ultimately she wants to move all of the participant licenses to LFDS.

 

Is it correct that all forms participant users have to be entered into the Admin Console individually in order to add them to LFDS?

 

Is there a way to do this using AD Groups or how do I maintain this?

 

We are needing to give these participant licenses to positions like office managers, finance clerks, etc. The people filling these positions can change frequently. 

 

Any ideas?

It sounds like participant licenses were added to the individual Forms server license. You'll need to update those applications and release the licenses before you can allocate them to users through LFDS.

As far as maintaining licences, you probably want to set up a group in Active Directory and set up AD synchronization in LFDS. See the help file for more information.

but after we setup the participant users in LFDS, then do we need to leave their LF Repository accounts intact with Read-Only rights? or can we remove those local accounts?

Forms participants are not repository users. Can you clarify your setup?

hi miruna, i was confused. i thought LF repo accounts are required for Forms Participant users. I now know that it's not required, and if the same user has LF Repo accounts as RO then that just allows them to log into LF Client as RO users.

Right, participant licenses and retrieval user licenses are separate. Forms offers a conversion utility for participants when moving from repository authentication to LFDS authentication. And you can create LFDS users and give them both participant and retrieval licenses. But at this point we don't have a utility that converts repository users into LFDS users.
