Use Windows users with AD

Milestone recommends that, whenever possible, you use Windows users in combination with Active Directory (AD) to log in to the VMS with the client programs. This enables you to enforce a password policy, and apply user settings consistently across the domain and network. It also provides protection against brute force attacks. For more information, see Use Windows users with Active Directory.
