Topic What's new about LDAP support in DocuShare 3.0?

Properties
Q: What are the differences between using LDAP on DS 2.2 vs DS 3.0? I have a customer considering an upgrade that wants LDAP, but needs convincing that the LDAP implementation in DS 3.0 is superior enough to warrant the expense.

A: LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) allows organizations to centrally manage and share information on network resources, users and user groups while acting as the central authority for network security (authentication). With LDAP enabled, a user can utilize the same login for DocuShare as is used to logon to a desktop on the network. In DS2.2, we provided limited LDAP support for Netscape's iPlanet Directory Services. This functionality has been greatly enhanced in the 3.0 release. DocuShare 3.0 now also offers support for Microsoft's Active Directory Services

Topic Documents open in browser instead of in application (I hate that!)

Properties
Q: How do I get a Word or Excel document to open in application rather than via OLE through the browser when using EI 6.0?

A: Deselect "browse in same window" on the file type in Tools/Folder Options. This is a regular file Explorer option, not Internet Explorer.
