Is there any plan to handle Participant Licenses via Active Directory in the next version? While I understand we can use LDAP as a round about method this makes the managing of users very difficult because:
- We must create AD security groups for full licenses and matching ones for participant licenses if we wish for both to be able to submit a non-public form. This is redundant as both security AD groups accomplish the same task.
- LDAP users do not login using the credentials they are used to and thus this becomes a training issue when you have hundreds of participant licenses and hundreds of full licenses.
- Difficult for routing as now if you have to account for 2 different formats of logins in your logic. This is not a big deal if you hard code in approvers, however if you are doing database lookups to create dynamic approval paths then this gets considerably more difficult.
While all of these are not a big deal for the people who deal in this every day, this is difficult for our smaller shops to build on their own or maintain after we finished building and go live.
