Package com.businessobjects.enterprise.secwinad Description

This package contains interfaces that allow you to map users and groups from a Windows 2000 Active Directory (AD) user database to BusinessObjects Enterprise, verify all logon requests that specify AD authentication, and provide Kerberos single sign-on (SSO) access to AD group members.

To use this library, the Central Management Server (CMS) must run under a user account that has the "Act as Part of the Operating System" right. See your Windows 2000 documentation for more information.

Retrieving an authentication plugin

Unlike the desktop plugins, the authentication plugins are static, and objects cannot be created from them. It follows that since no instances of the plugin exist, you must retrieve the plugin itself. Each type of authentication plugin in BusinessObjects Enterprise is represented by an InfoObject. These objects are stored in the CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS category in the CMS InfoStore, and must be retrieved using the SI_NAME property.
