Active Directory

Windows Active Directory is Microsoft's implementation of a hierarchical, object-based directory service for managing system resources, including developers, end users, and groups. If you publish JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server information in Active Directory, client workstations use this information to locate and connect to the server dynamically. If JD Edwards EnterpriseOne service changes from one server to another, workstations can still connect to the server by referencing published server information in Active Directory.

Note: Active Directory is a Windows feature, and its use with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is platform-specific and optional. If you are running JD Edwards EnterpriseOne enterprise servers on Unix or IBM i platforms, client workstations still reference their jde.ini files to connect to the server.
