Cloud Application Integration (On-Premises) : Administering Integration Server : Configuring a Central User Directory or LDAP : Overview of How Integration Server Works with Externally Defined Users and Groups : How the Server Uses Externally Defined Users and Groups
How the Server Uses Externally Defined Users and Groups
The server can use externally defined information for the same purposes it uses internally-defined user and group information:
*To authenticate clients using user names and passwords
*To control who can configure and manage Integration Server
*To control who can create, modify, and delete services using Software AG Designer
*To control access to services and files that are available in Integration Server
Externally defined information does not replace ACLs. To control access to services and files, you still need to set up the ACLs that identify the groups that are allowed and denied access to specific services and files. However, you can assign externally defined groups to an ACL.
When you configure the server to use central user management or LDAP directory, externally defined users and groups are not displayed on the Security > User Management page. However, if an external group has been mapped to an Integration Server ACL, the group will be displayed on the Security > Access Control Lists page.
Note:  
If the name of an externally defined user group contains an apostrophe (‘), Integration Server will not display the group on the Security > Access Control Lists page.
