I'm wondering if anybody has any experience integrating Tessitura with active directory directly. We currently have separate authentication credentials for our users which are different than their active directory logins which can cause some challenges. It would be nice if we could somehow link the two in order to use a single login account for windows and Tessitura. We would likely still want to assign users to groups to be able to restrict permissions as necessary based on function within the organization.
For locally hosted, I think this would be a great feature to add to future releases for an “out of the box” add. While I am not a SQL dev guy, I have heard of others having some success in tying their local instance of SQL with AD, but I have no specifics – could just be rumor however. Very cool if it could work though.
For those of us on RAMP, I’m not sure we would have the same success….

Hi Eric,
We would love to have this capability; the inability to do this is a significant problem in my opinion. However, there is no way to do this currently as far as I’m aware.
Thanks,
David

We would also love AD integration, though I can totally understand why it is not likely to get priority.
For us RAMP folk, I'd guess it would have to be quite an undertaking. Either RAMP would need a ton of cross-domain trusts, or the architecture would have to support Active Directory Federated Services, and I think that only works for full web apps. We can still dream though. :)
