Implementing Fastpath’s Config AD: Prerequisites

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.

The prerequisites for Config AD are fairly simple:

• Windows Active Directory
• Microsoft Dynamics GP configured with companies and security roles
• If Dynamics GP has already been implemented the Advanced SQL Server options on all users in Dynamics GP needs to be disabled

When I was configuring Config AD the last of the prerequisites caught me out as it was mentioned only in the Troubleshooting section of the documentation. It would have been helpful if this had been mentioned in the instructions or a prerequisites section. It was fairly easy to resolve once I knew what the problem was (I’ll cover this in a later post).
