Microsoft Active Directory
AC2000 Microsoft Active Directory integration provides tighter system security and support for corporate IT user management and authentication. Based on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), the AC2000 Microsoft Active Directory integration provides AC2000 cardholder record synchronisation and Microsoft Windows Single Sign-On (SSO).
Directory Synchronisation is built into the architecture of AC2000, meaning administrators can automatically import vital personnel information into the AC2000 Personnel application to ensure that the information in both systems is precisely matched and clearances are in place. Using an intuitive web based interface (AC2000 WEB) for configuration, the Directory Synchronisation processes new records, updates and deletions automatically using pre-configured parameters.

Single Sign-On (SSO) is a mechanism whereby a single action of user authentication and authorization can permit a user to access all computers and systems that they have access permissions for, without the need to enter multiple passwords. Access to the AC2000 system can be granted to users after using their Windows login credentials.
