IBM Aspera Faspex on Demand supports the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
and can be configured to connect to a directory service. The following directory service
databases are supported:
- 389/Red Hat/Fedora Directory Server
- Apple Open Directory
- Microsoft Active Directory (AD)
Important:
- Directory service syncing is accomplished through an Faspex background service that must be kept running.
- When removing a directory service group, users in that group are deactivated instead of
removed.
- When an user exists in multiple directory service groups, removing one of the groups
doesn't affect the user. The user is deactivated only when all the user's directory
service groups are removed.
- An activated directory service group is shown as "Active" in the status column. If it
shows otherwise, click View Operation History to read the Active
Directory operation log and identify the problem.
