Concurrent users

Within Sage CRM a user logging into CRM via a browser and CRM via a web service count as 2 users (within the concurrent setup). With the Outlook integration this method used is via CRM's web service. This can present a problem with a single user taking up 2 of the concurrent licenses.

The solution for this is

  1. Users set their "Integrated Access" "User Name" to be "x"
  2. Users to log on to CRM via IE (it must be via IE)
  3. Users then start Outlook.

Accelerator will pick up the Authentication SID from the CRM IE session and use that to communicate with CRM.



Active Directory Integration

Sage's own web-services do NOT use the active directory logon information/authentication.

As Accelerator uses the CRM web services API to log on to CRM and get a valid session for the user you have to maintain and use the password stored in CRM (and not the users Active directory password).
