How to retrieve users from the Active directory?

The Visual Guard console provides a dialogue box that enables to search for a user or a group in the Active directory (add windows accounts or groups).

When the user is found Visual Guard stores his security identifier (SID) in the repository. You will then be able to assign VG roles to this user.

In your application, you just need to retrieve the common Windows identity and provide it to VG which will allow VG to apply the corresponding permissions.
