Hi Barbro,
Thank you for submitting your idea to help us improve SDL TMS. There are a number of possibilities for using your existing directory services with SDL TMS. Firstly you can use the long-established Directory Services features in SDL TMS which allows you to quickly add and subsequently maintain your own users. You can find this on the Edit Organization page although this is targeted at an LDAP implementation.
Secondly, with the release of SDL TMS 12.0, we introduced SDL ID and one of the features of this technology is the ability to authenticate with your own ADFS implementation. Please contact your SDL account representative for more information on this feature.
Finally, there is an existing customization which allows you to use Single Sign-On through SAML. Again, your account representative can provide more details.
Regards,
David
