LDAP/Active Directory Integration
New LDAP/AD import and integration tools for single-login access.

Other advanced web-based collaboration tools may provide batch LDAP import tools to import from your LDAP into their application.  This has become expected from top-end web-based collaboration tools.

Now, however, bf.collaboration not only provides these LDAP (Active Directory, Novell, Netscape, etc.) import tools, but bf.collaboration may be the first to also offer true LDAP integration that allows users to use their global login to access all bf.collaboration tools even when a user profile has not been imported from the organization's LDAP.
 
How it works
 
Import directly  from the Administrator Console -- No batch scripting necessary!
Even "advanced" web-based collaboration tools often require you to create and run a batch script each time to import users from your organization's LDAP/AD service.  With bf.collaboration, the LDAP import process is significantly simplified by providing administrators with a simple graphical user interface (GUI) displaying all available options, and is already pre-populated with your organization's default LDAP service information.
Advantages with LDAP/AD Service Integration
Single Login.  No need for users to maintain separate login information for bf.collaboration (or bf.collaboration components) System-wide, up-to-date information.  As your global user list is periodically updated in bf.collaboration, user profile information remains current.
Automatic bf.collaboration profile creation.  When a user is added to your Active Directory (or Novell eDirectory, Netscape Directory Server, etc.), they can immediately log on to bf.collaboration -- even if their Directory profile has not yet been imported into bf.collaboration. LDAP Import Graphical User Interface (GUI).  Unlike with some other web-based collaboration tools, LDAP imports are handled directly from the Administrator console GUI, and require no text-based batch scripting that can increase the chance of erroneous import execution.
