Yes, true. Maybe I did not make myself clear enough. Sorry about that. You don't have to recreate users and groups, but you still have to assign an application (or application group) to at least one of: user, user group or thin client. > The article says nothing about on how to go about managing the secondary > directory server authenticated users application (or app. group) assignment. Sorry, I thought that would be clear. First, you setup OTC to use the second server for user and group information. Well, you have done that. Then you would have to edit your application (or app group) to link it to some user or user group. Note: I am currently not sure whether the currently available OTC release already has a fix for this situation: - if the list on the secondary server is bigger that that server will report in a single query, it will tell the listener (our software) to make an additional fetch until all is obtained. - that incremental query is a rather new feature in OTC and I will have to ask Martin if he released it yet. > The only way i can figure is to assign the applications to the thinclient, > which then the secondary dir. authenticated user will read application indo > from the thinclient's assignments - which is obviously a bad exercise. Doesn't the user and user group lists show your users/groups? If those lists are empty then you probably suffer from above bug/unimplemented feature... How many users and groups does your LDAP / Active Directory have?
