Verify the Directory Authentication

To help ensure that the directory integration is successful, verify the directory authentication by logging into Client Automation.

Follow these steps: on DSM Explorer

  2. Select the security authority from the following list:
    Security Provider

Select the appropriate security provider, and the corresponding windows domain or directory appears.
