6.5 Ensuring Consistency of User Information When Coordinating Authentication with Active Directory

User authentication is provided by this product using the CAS of SVOM. For the directory service, the directory service provided with SVOM or Active Directory can be specified.

When using the directory service provided with SVOM, user operation information from this product is coordinated with SVOM, which updates the entries of user information on the directory service.

When using Active Directory, which is not provided with this product, user operation information from this product is not coordinated. For this reason, when adding or modifying users, perform the operation on both this product and Active Directory. If a user is not added to either program, login to Cloud Services Management will fail and problems will occur when performing resource operation as shown in the table below.
