In addition to the basic requirements described in some of our
other blog posts, there's also AD/LDAP.
AD/LDAP is not required in order for your testing system to
operate.
Most test-creation software solutions do not support this
feature.

HR and training personnel investigating various testing software
solutions may want to check with their IT departments
regarding this feature.
If the testing software will be installed on the organization's
servers it is likely that the IT department would be interested in
implementing AD/LDAP.
If this is a key factor in your selection of a testing software, you
may want to include it in the testing requirements list that you
send to the testing software company.

AD/LDAP
What is it?
Active Directory (AD) is actually a Microsoft developed service
that uses Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
AD was developed by Microsoft as a service run under most
Windows Server operating systems.
It is a system responsible for authenticating users within on
organization's network.
When a user logs in to their computer AD verifies their
credentials and allows the user to log in to the network.

AD/LDAP
What is it?
Many large organizations use this type of authentication
method so that users can log in, not only to their computer, but
to other applications using the same credentials.
As it relates to testing software, such as Test Generator, it
simplifies authentication.
Instead of the test administrator having to create another set of
user profiles within the testing software's database, the user
profiles resident within the organization's AD/LDAP system can
be synched within the testing system's database.

AD/LDAP Plug-in
We provide an optional plug-in that enables IT to synch users
into TG's database from their central AD/LDAP system.
This type of integration is typically handled by your
organization's technical support staff working with our TG
development team.
If required TG technical support can schedule an online support
session to assist with the integration of this feature.
