Advantages of using the Corporate Active Directory server

[cognosfreelancer]

Hello

We are in the process of migrating our security from the Cognos LDAP server to the corporate Active Directory.

It much easier to maintain security with the latter.

In order to sell this to the usersÃ,  ;) i need to to list out direct benefits that they would experience.

Any ideas ....

Same user-id and same password , always aligned.

If you now get authentification via .lae -- that's really insecure.
Security is the key difference between variants (lae, sun, ad). Latter two give centralized security (no file copying and etcetera).
