               - Windows users are stored in Active Directory, but 
                  		  Enterprise Server does not use Windows user authentication to authenticate administrators. You maintain user information and 
                  		  Enterprise Server administrator passwords using your LDAP management software. 
                  		
               
- Other user attributes (for example operator class) are stored as additional attributes of the Windows user objects in AD
