If you plan to use another source of authority (Windows Active Directory Services) for user authentication, but you want to use the TSAPI Service Security Database (SDB) for user authorization, you will need to add your users to the AE Services User Management database. The AE Services User Management database is the means for populating the SDB. For information about adding users to the AE Services User Management database, see Adding a user to User Management.

In terms of integrating with AE Services, the strategies are presented from the lowest level of integration to the highest. Bronze represents the lowest level of integration, Silver represents intermediate integration, and Gold represents complete integration.
