Navision integration with Active Directory users

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Francisco morales 105

 Hello, I woud like to kwnow if it is possible to integrate Navision (that it runs over SQL server 2005) with

our Active Directory (2003 server), so that we dont have to create a specific user on sql server / Navision with other password each time we need to give access to a users to navision.

 Could I integrate sql server 2005/navision users with our active directory?

Thanks a lot

    Yes it is possible.

    To take full advantage of the features provided by the Active Directory Security system, the Navision client computers and the domain controller must all either be running on Windows 2000, Windows XP or otherwise have access to Active Directory.

    If your Navision client computers do not have access to Active Directory, they will not be able to see the     Windows Users & Groups window. When they create or open a database, the clients will not be able to see the generated list of available servers either.

    Active Directory allows the administrator to give administrative permissions to other users, thereby delegating large areas of responsibility to other members of the organization. This feature makes administering Navision more flexible. Others users, for example, department managers, can administer all the groups that they need within their department from the Microsoft Management Console.

    With this tool you can make Windows users members of specific security groups that have already been given roles within Navision. You can control access to and permissions within Navision, without having to open the program, provided that the Windows security groups have been given the appropriate roles within Navision.

    In an Active Directory environment, Navision allows you to create Navision users and roles from Windows accounts, and modify the rights of these users and roles. All Active Directory security groups will be visible within Navision and can be given roles within Navision.

    For more information, see the file w1w1isql.pdf (Installation & System Management: Microsoft® Business Solutions–Navision® SQL Server Option) included on the Navision CD (under the folder 'Doc').

    You can add Windows Users as logins to the NAV classic client (tools, security, windows logins). When you enter the user in there, the system will check against the network to make sure the user is valid. It will also add the windows user to SQL Server for you, so you don't have to do that manually.

    Study that manual though, that is solid advice.
