Hello,
I'm Using the NI security login feature with LabVIEW 8.5.1 and the DSC module.
Currently I'm Using a local NI-Domain, with Users and Groups created with the NI-Domain Account Manager.
Is it possible to avoid this extra administration by integrating an existing windows network domain and its users and groups?
The idea is to give the users the possibility to log on to the LabVIEW-application with their regular windows account data.
This would make it a lot more comfortable for them to manage user ID's and passwords.
Is their a way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hello,
I forgot to mention that I already tried to search for the network domain using the domain account manager, but it didn't find any. The application is running on a PC that is part of a windows network domain, but starts automatically using a local account. Could this be the reason why the domain search delivers an empty list?
Are there any preconditions I have to consider, or is this kind of "network domain"-feature simply not what I'm looking for?
Thanks,
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
we're sorry, but it is not possible to avoid this extra administration by integrating an existing windows network domain and its users and groups.

Hello,
sorry for bumping this 8 year-old thread but is this still the case with the latest version of LabVIEW (2015) and DSC toolkit (2015)?
Thanks,
Eric

I believe so. If you want to integrate domain credentials into your application, you can do so without needing DSC, you just need to call into Windows with some API. Here are some examples.
