Directory Servers

BigFix Compliance Analytics supports authentication with directory servers through Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). You can add directory servers to BigFix Compliance Analytics so that the users can log in using credentials based on your existing authentication scheme.

To authenticate BigFix Compliance Analytics users with directory servers, you must do the following:
  1. Add a directory server
  2. Link a user to the directory server (See Users section).
You can also use the User Provisioning feature to automatically create users (with directory server authentication) without doing it individually from the Users menu.
