iServer Express integration with Active Directory/LDAP

rahulkjha

Hello,

I have few questions on iServer integration with Active Directory/LDAP for security implementation:

1. Can we integrate iServer Express' trail version with Active Directory

2. In any case (whether be trail or full version of iServer), do we need any additional files/plug-ins before we can integrate it with Active Directory?

3. What are the steps to implement it?

Thanks,
Rahul

The iServer and iServer Express expose an extension point that allows you to externalize user registration and authentication. The extension point is known as the Java Report Server Security Extension (RSSE).<br />
<br />
The following two DevShare post give a good overview of the RSSE<br />

There is also a Using Actuate iServer Integration Technology manual that documents the RSSE in chapter 11.<br />
