Our Dataminer systems are currently using user accounts on the local Windows 2012 Servers. Our security team is requesting that all credentials of operational systems within our organisation are managed centrally by an Identity and Access Management service. Does anybody have any experience if this would be a problem for a Dataminer based system?

Hi Matthew,

This should not be a problem, DataMiner supports several Identity and Access Management services (for example Active Directory, CROWD). DataMiner also supports SAML authentication, meaning any Identity Provider that supports the SAML standard can integrate with DataMiner (for example Azure AD, AD FS, Okta). Providers like Azure AD allow you to enable Multi-Factor Authentication.

Users can be stored in any directory that supports LDAP (Active Directory, OpenLDAP,...)

Hi Matthew,

DataMiner supports several options for centralized authentication: LDAP, SAML, RADIUS, and Crowd authentication. You can find an overview of the possibilities in the help pages here.
