Supported domain, network, and authentication types
- LMS does not support cross-domain use, i.e. it does not support users from different networks and subnetworks using the same licensing mechanism.
- LMS does not support different email address identifiers from different email domains; for example, company.com and comp.com and comp.co.uk. This feature is currently only available in Connect Cloud where multiple domains can be registered with a single account. The LMS picks up domains based upon provided LDAP.
- LMS does not provide any governance or restriction of target SAP systems. This is a Winshuttle Foundation feature.
- LMS uses LDAP to fetch Active Directory users.
- LMS inherently supports only NTLM and Kerberos authentication.
