About the Common Directory Services API
When connected to the same My webMethods Server database and Universal Messaging server, CDS behaves very much like a My webMethods Server cluster instance and participates in all distributed caching across the cluster. When a system directory user is updated, the change will be detected by all CDS instances within a few minutes.
Directory services are defined and managed in
My webMethods Server, by logging in to
My webMethods as either SysAdmin or as Administrator. For more information about working with directory services, see
Managing Directory Services and
Managing External Directory Services.
In addition to working with the CDS API, you can use the My webMethods interface to perform all directory management activities:
User, group, and role management. For more information, see
About Managing Users and Groups.
