Question

Directory Service

Hi,

How do I create a new Directory Service?

From the workbook, it states to go to Directory Services and duplicate the default Entity to create your Directory Service. However when I go to Directory Services, I don't think I see a default entity or any entities in the listing. Am I looking in the wrong location or missing a component?

Thanks.

    Hi Victor,

    If you refer to section 06.02 in the Wiki titled, "Directory Services Authentication, " you'll find direction on creating a directory service and an example. You will just copy and paste the example into a text editor such as notepad++ and import it the same way you would would any other entity. This will be the entity you duplicate in composer.


    Thank you,

    Saeed

    Did you create your users in the Directory service system as well as in ThingWorx?

    Hi Saeed,

    Yes I believe so. The username I created in ThingWorx is the same that exists in Active Directory. Is there anything else I need to configure?
