    When portal users are authenticated/added to the porta, is there a way to automatically add them to an organization based on their AD properties? If not is there a default org that users can be automatically added to?

     

    Thanks.

    Hi Mike,

     

    If you have the API Portal setup to use LDAP or SAML for authentication, then you can pull out the organization from the AD. This is done in the "API Portal Authentication and Management Service" running on the gateway (this service is called by the portal during authentication).

     

    Thanks,

    Greg

    Hi Greg,

     

    I'm trying to get some stuff working in a similar area myself (portal user creation). Is there a guide or any kind of documentation for the "API Portal Authentication and Management Service" that you could point me to?

     

    Thanks,

    Chase

    Hi Chase,

     

    There is a section in the API Portal Documentation. See this link:

    Thanks,
