Login with Active Directory Credentials

By default, each user created in MailStore Server has a local password. The MailStore Server administrator can specify this password during creation of a new user account. The respective user can later change this password in MailStore Client’s Quick Access section if he or she has ample privileges.

Alternatively, if an Active Directory is available, you can configure MailStore Server to allow users to log on to MailStore Server using their Active Directory credentials.

Procedure for Users Created by Synchronization with Active Directory

If you have created MailStore Server users by Active Directory synchronization as described in the previous section, no further action is required. In this case, MailStore Server has already configured all necessary settings automatically for you.

Procedure for Manually Created Users

If you have created MailStore Server users manually and want them to be able to log on using their Active Directory credentials, please proceed as follows:

• Configure the Active Directory integration as described in chapter Synchronizing User Accounts with Active Directory.
• Verify that the names of the MailStore Server users match those of the corresponding Active Directory users.
• In the General Information section of the user properties select Directory Services for Authentication.
