The ArcGIS for Server development team has created a series of step-by-step videos to introduce you to version 10.1. These brief walkthroughs cover the basic tasks needed to install, configure, and administer an ArcGIS Server site. A few minutes exploring these videos can go a long way toward simplifying your transition to 10.1.

Hi, team,
On security management, is there any way to use the corporate Windows Active Directory database for ‘role’ management inside the GIS Site under both Linux and Windows?
In other word, searching and adding an active group from the corporate active database (saying, IT_GIS_Publisers, which includes their NetworkID only) into the group ‘Publisher’ in the GIS site, all users inside this group can publish GIS services? Obviously, the GIS Site manager(s) should manage their log-in ID with their password in local GIS Site database.

Generally, as one option, the GIS Site manager(s) only manage the security groups, and should NOT individually manage their log-in ID with their password inside GIS Site database because the corporate security active database will take care of their ID and passwords.
Hi Larry. Here’s some information from the documentation about configuring the Windows Active Directory as a user and role store: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/0154/015400000517000000.htm
Thanks, team,
It’s clearer that we can use corporate Windows Active Directory database as a group & role management under Windows Server (with IIS) and will test sooner.
In fact, we also want to use the corporate Microsoft Active Directory database to manage user/role in GIS site under Linux. So, is it possible to use this technique under Linux?

Honestly, I am still confused on it under Linux. In the doc, it says that LDAP server (Apache Directory Server or Microsoft Active Directory) can be used as role/user source. But, ArcGIS Server only treats the LDAP server as a read-only source of user/role information, and thus, you cannot use ArcGIS Server Manager to add or delete users and roles or edit their attributes.
