Configuring Contribute Publishing Server (CPS only)

If you are using Contribute Publishing Server (CPS) with Contribute, it’s important to configure the User Directory service when you deploy. User Directory service is a user management solution that lets you integrate Contribute with your organization’s user directory to easily manage and authenticate users.

You can also configure the E-mail Notification and Log services at the same time, or you can wait until later. At a later time, you will probably also want to set up Simple File Deployment service and RSS Feed service. For more information, see Contribute Publishing Server Help.

Before you configure the User Directory service, you should understand the two authentication models available, and how Contribute works with LDAP and what the LDAP authentication workflow is.
