Promote Vault Server Accounts to Active Directory Domain Accounts

Note: Windows Authentication is available in Autodesk Vault Professional.

A vault server user account can be promoted to an Active Directory account. Promoting a vault server account to an Active Directory account maps the vault server account to an existing Windows account. Promoting an account replaces the vault server account information with the selected Active Directory account information.

1. In the User Management dialog, select a vault server user account and then select Actions  Promote to Domain User.
2. In the Select Users dialog, click Locations to specify the domain containing the Active Directory account to which the selected vault server account will be mapped. In the Locations dialog, select the domain to use and then click OK.
3. In the Select Users dialog, enter the name of the Active Directory domain user to which the vault server account will be promoted or click Advanced to search for the user.
4. Once the user account has been specified, click OK in the Select Users dialog. The vault server account information is replaced with the Active Directory account information and the properties in the vault database are updated with the new user name.
