Build Customer Directory Integration

Build Customer Directory Integration

The Customer Directory Integration (CDI) feature is an optional component. In this section, there are three different Customer Directory Integration scenarios. The first two are mutually exclusive. However, you may install one of the first two in combination with the third. You may also install one of the first two alone, or the third alone. Consider installing CDI if you want to provide coordinated sign on and synchronization facilities for specific users in a designated customer organization.
