Windows authentication allows you to use Windows users and groups to assign roles in DOC4000 and it simplifies user management. Several features, such as workflows, punch lists, and Document Manager, require or work best with this user authentication method.

If you have a large number of users and groups, or if remote access to the Active Directory causes performance delays, DOC4000 provides a utility to allow you to collect and store user and group membership information. If you choose to use this utility, you should use Windows Task Scheduler to run this utility each night to get the latest changes from the Active Directory. If you want changes in the Active Directory to be available before the scheduled run, you can manually run this utility.

The DOC4000ADUserTool.exe utility in the InstallPath/DataCollector folder allows you to synchronize this information and uses the following syntax:

DOC4000ADUserTool.exe updateDB updateCases

The options are defined as follows:

  • updateDB specifies whether to update the member list of each group saved in DOC4000. You can specify true or false for this option.

  • updateCases specifies whether to update cases to reflect changed group members. When this option is true, the utility updates the cases with the current approvers. You can specify true or false for this option.
