Business Directory automatically imports the names of all of the domains, users, and groups from the TDV sites to which it connects. This includes any LDAP server information being used by the TDV site.

Note: Azure Domain is not supported in Business Directory.

LDAP servers are created when adding a TDV Site to the Business Directory that is using LDAP. The user credentials are stored in the domain server and the domain server needs to be available for them to be verified.The connection information is imported from the TDV Site, with the exception of the password.

You can restrict what resources Business Directory users see, by using Studio. LDAP or TDV user profiles. Typically, if you define the user profile through Studio so that a particular user can not see a resource, then that same user in Business Directory would not be able to see that resource. For example, LDAP user profile MMEG in Studio can see compositeView, but not SWsalesView. When user MMEG logs into Business Directory, SWsalesView would not be visible through the web application.

For more information, see LDAP Domain Administration in the TDV Administration Guide topic.

All TDV sites that are connected to Business Directory must share the same LDAP server.
