In this series of posts I’m going to take a look at the Config AD product from Fastpath which adds single sign-on to the Dynamics GP desktop client; you can find my series index here.

To do this, start Microsoft Dynamics GP by right-clicking the GP shortcut and choosing Run as Administrator. On the Dexterity Runtime question box click Yes to include the new code:
