Key Benefits
Centralized User Administration - By connecting TOP Server to your Active Directory infrastructure, you eliminate the need to manage duplicate user accounts across multiple systems. Changes to user credentials, group memberships, and permissions made in Active Directory are automatically recognized by TOP Server, reducing administrative overhead and minimizing the risk of inconsistent permissions across your environment.
Enhanced Security - Active Directory integration leverages your organization's existing security policies and password requirements. Domain users and administrators benefit from centralized password management, including enforcement of complexity rules, expiration policies, and account lockout mechanisms. Additionally, TOP Server respects Active Directory group memberships, enabling role-based access control that aligns with your organizational structure.
Simplified Deployment - Organizations with multiple TOP Server installations can provide consistent user access across all instances without manually provisioning accounts on each system. Domain users can authenticate seamlessly whether connecting to the Server Configuration, Server Administration, Configuration API, or OPC UA Server interfaces.
