RAM 7.2 Server Integration with Microsoft Active Directory
I have done initial research on the integration between RAM server and Active Directory. Release notes for RAM 7.2 state that MS Active Directory 2003 is supported. Does that refer to domain controller version or functional level of the domain?
The reason for asking is that, apart from connecting to Win 2003 domain controllers, you have an option to connect to Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers. However the functional level of a domain is still Windows 2003. We would like to know if RAM server can connect to both versions of domain controllers in such setup.

One answer
Though RAM 7.5 was formally tested against:
there is no platform specific code for these platform's support. RAM/WAS uses standard LDAP calls.
There are two levels for which LDAP protocol is used. One, for authentication; this one is driven by the container (WAS). And one to fetch user profile information (email, phone number etc.), which is configure with the Customer User Registry configuration.
