Directory Server 9.2

Summary

This article highlights new features for Directory Server 9.2.

Directory Server Web Administration Console

The Directory Server Web Administration Console presents a Web application for managing licenses in a Directory Server site. Use a Web browser to view an updated graphical user interface for retrieving a primary license from Laserfiche, register and assign named user licenses to Windows Active Directory user accounts or Novell eDirectory user accounts, register application instances, downloading license files, and more.

Organizations

Laserfiche Directory Server offers additional options for sorting available licenses into different containers for easier management. Organize registered directory accounts into different Laserfiche Directory Server organizations. Use these organizations to reserve blocks of licenses for specific departments. The administration website contains a page for subdividing the total number of licenses defined in a primary license among different organizations. When assigning named user licenses to registered directory accounts that are members of an organization, the maximum number of available named user licenses will be limited to the number reserved for that specific organization. Similar limits can be applied to application licenses for an organization.

Security

Directory Server 9.2 introduces more granular security controls for limiting access to portions of a licensing site. At the site-level, assign rights to control who can access and view a licensing site and download application licenses as well as control who can manage the identity providers (e.g., Active Directory or Novel eDirectory server) registered with a Directory Server licensing site. At the organization level, grant specific accounts the ability to manage licenses for a specific organization.

Changes from License Manager 8

  • Directory Server stores licensing information within a Microsoft SQL Server database. When creating a Directory Server licensing site, you will be prompted to specify a valid Microsoft SQL Server instance. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express is included in the installation package.
