AD Users and Groups in Teamsite

Hi All,

We are working with TS 7.1 installed on windows 2008 and we are using Teamsite authentication. In our environments (Dev and QA) we are adding AD users to Teamsite using the admin console and we are creating Teamsite groups.

In our UAT and Production environments we have AD authentication enabled, users and groups are created in AD and the users are synced up with Teamsite periodically. I understand that for every user in AD we need to have a Teamsite user added through GUI/CLT/Sync process.

How do we handle AD groups? In my understanding we don’t need to add the groups in Teamsite as well, and I am assuming iwcache.xml (/conf/roles) will get updated frequently with the group details. Please confirm if this is correct?

We have a workflow where we have group tasks and they are managed by specific Teamsite groups, if we are managing groups in AD, will these group tasks work?

Can you also point me to some documentation where I can get more details around this? (I looked into ts_71_admin_v01_en.pdf, but it doesn’t talk these in detail)

Thanks,
Arun.

Does that help?

Thanks Ghoti, that helped.

What i understand from the above is, as long as the user is registered with Teamsite then the workflow with a group task should work fine. We don't necessarily need to add AD groups as Teamsite groups.

Is this correct?
