Mx-Frame supports login using domain user accounts. Accounts are retrieved from system’s active directory. Benefit of these types of user accounts is in their management. This way user accounts, for the domain and MX-Frame, are managed only in one place, which lighten and speeds up administrative work.

It is important to know that if the domain is not available, user account cannot be verified therefore login is not be possible, not with domain accounts. MX-Frame only remembers user name and some other information. When the login is made, system asks domain for verification.
