6.3.2.4 Deactivated Account
This list presents user accounts deleted or deactivated in the external directory. They have
been deactivated on the Extended Communication Server server. They will be activated again
if the account is reactivated or recreated in the external directory. They are available in this
interface so that they can be deleted by the administrator.
6.3.3 User Connection
6.3.3.1 User Authentication
Users authenticate to the Extended Communication Server services by using their usual Active
Directory login/password.
The first time, the Extended Communication Server forwards the authentication request to the
Active Directory server and saves locally the encrypted password.
If the user is successfully authenticated, any following requests are handle directly by the
Extended Communication Server until the user password is changed.
6.3.3.2 Login Policy
On Extended Communication Server a user login must be made up of the following characters:
[a..z],[A..Z],[0..9],[-],[_].
The Extended Communication Server login policy is more restrictive than the Active Directory
login policy where special characters are allowed.
- Special characters are replaced according to the following table:
