● User passwords and user lockout policy for external users are managed via Active Directory’s
integration with the user’s host machine.
● Enabling or disabling Active Directory integration does not require a reset.
● In Standard Security Mode multiple accounts of all user types are supported. In Ultra Secure Mode,
enabling Active Directory integration is only permitted if the Collaboration Server only has one local
Administrator User.
● Multiple Machine Accounts with various roles are supported.
● Microsoft Active Directory is the only directory service supported.
● Active Directory integration is configured as part of the Management Network.
● Both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing are supported.
● In Standard Security Mode, the Active Directory can be queried using NTLM with or without TLS
encryption. In Ultra Secure Mode, TLS encryption is required.
