ADOBE CONNECT 6.0

Technical Overview

When Enterprise Server imports user information using directory service integration, it does not receive access to

the user’s network password. Administrators need a different method to manage user login imported into the Enter-

prise Server directory from external LDAP servers.

One option is to automatically send an e-mail using Enterprise Server with a link to set a password after an account

is added to Enterprise Server. Or, if users were imported with directory service integration, administrators can

initially set user passwords to a default, such as a field contained in the LDAP directory (employee ID for example).

After users log in using this initial password, they can change their passwords.

The recommended method for managing Enterprise Server user passwords and authentication with directory

service integration is to use it with automatic SSO. SSO is a mechanism whereby a single action of user authentication

allows a user to access all computers and applications where they have access permission—without having to enter

multiple passwords. SSO reduces human error, which is a major component of system failures. You can configure

Enterprise Server to manage users and authenticate their access to multiple applications in several ways.

Windows NT LAN Manager (NTLM) Microsoft uses Windows NTLM to pass information about authenticated users.

After users log in, they can access intranet sites or applications that require valid access without being prompted each

time for their login and password. Only Internet Explorer on Microsoft Windows can silently negotiate NTLM

authentication without prompting the user for credentials. Enterprise Server checks the browser type of a request

and only requests NTLM authentication for browsers that support NTLM.

HTTP header-based authentication HTTP header-based authentication uses extra fields in the header of an HTTP

request for user authentication. In this configuration, all Enterprise Server requests must first be routed to an authen-

tication proxy (reverse proxy) positioned between the client and the Enterprise Server. The proxy server authenti-

cates the request and adds an extra HTTP header field. Enterprise Server uses the header information to identify the

user. If the user passes the authentication test, Enterprise Server creates a valid session and allows the user to begin

using the system.

Learning management system (LMS)

The Enterprise Server solution allows you to deploy an enterprise training solution using Enterprise Server tools and

your existing LMS. You can develop content in either Adobe Presenter or your existing industry-standard instruc-

tional design tool, and host that content either on your LMS or on Enterprise Server. Finally, web services APIs allow

you to integrate the Enterprise Server system with your LMS for coordinated course and training management.

Adobe Presenter is the content authoring tool that allows non-technical subject matter experts to rapidly create e-

learning content from Microsoft PowerPoint. Adobe Presenter can produce content that conforms to AICC and

SCORM standards.

When Adobe Presenter content is deployed in conjunction with an LMS, e-learning can be launched and tracked

from the LMS. Content created using Adobe Presenter conforms to two output formats: AICC and ADL SCORM.

Adobe Presenter content can be output in each of the AICC or SCORM protocols. An author can select the appro-

priate LMS standard when publishing content from Adobe Presenter.

In addition, Adobe Presenter offers several advanced settings for how presentations integrate with LMS systems. The

settings let you specify what data is sent to the LMS and how the data is formatted. Typically, advanced LMS users

use these settings, or LMS administrators request them. For more details, see the Adobe Presenter 6 User Guide

(available online at www.adobe.com/go/connect_documentation_en) or the Connect Enterprise Resource Center,

which has instructions for how to integrate Adobe Presenter content with commonly used LMSs.
