Authenticating users from an Active Directory Forest

For user authentication the SMU supports Active Directory Forest by using Active Directory Global Catalog feature. When Global Catalog is configured, all Active Directory groups, which are granted access to the SMU directly and indirectly (via the chain of membership), must have 'Universal' scope. This guarantees that Active Directory group membership details, required to verify user’s access, are available to the SMU via Global Catalog connection.
