Domains

Domains connects SEI to your organization's Active Directory or LDAP directory for user authentication and group management. By adding domains and organizational units (OUs), you control which users and groups can access SEI and let them sign in with their existing domain credentials.

If you are upgrading from a version earlier than 9, any organizational units you configured previously are not transferred automatically. You need to add them again manually.

In the Domains list, the SSL/TLS column shows which domains use the LDAPS protocol.
