Configuring Directory Services

Edit online

About this task

My webMethods Server includes an internal directory with default system users. If you are using an external directory (for example LDAP), you can configure My webMethods Server to also access user and group information from that directory through an external directory service. You can create a directory service and connect My webMethods Server to an external LDAP, ADSI, or ADAM sever using the Command Central web user interface.
