When Meridian is deployed in a network together with Meridian Enterprise Server, Meridian can use the user accounts and groups defined in Meridian Enterprise Server instead of those defined in Meridian Enterprise Administrator. This is valuable to administer the users and groups for both Meridian and Meridian Explorer from a single, central location, particularly if it is linked to your Microsoft Active Directory.
To use Meridian Enterprise Server users and groups:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
|
Enterprise Server web server group |
|
|
Address |
The server name, port, and UPN to connect to the Meridian Enterprise Server web server, for example, MyServer:8686@MYDOMAIN\UserName. |
|
Enterprise Server application server group |
|
|
Computer running the Enterprise Server services |
The name of the Meridian Enterprise Server computer, for example, MyServer. |
|
Use Enterprise Server for user management |
If enabled, Meridian uses the users and groups defined in Meridian Enterprise Server. If disabled, it uses the users and groups described in About Meridian user administration. Note When this option is enabled, the reserved word $$UserDB cannot be used in VBScript with the Vault.ExecSQL method to access the Meridian Enterprise Server user database. |
