The Directory Agent will allow Optinet to synchronize your Directory groups, OUs, or user
attributes with the Optinet Directory Groups. The Directory Agent will also indicate how to
display user names under Reports.
You can download the Directory Agent under Admin -> Downloads -> Directory Software ->
Download 32-bit Active Directory Agent. The Directory Agent must be installed on a
Windows (2000 or above) Server that has access to the directory, e.g., Active Directory
server, domain controller, etc.
Once downloaded, double-click on the Directory Agent installation package. This will
present you with the Directory Agent Installation Wizard. Follow the steps of the Wizard by
accepting the License Agreement, selecting a destination folder (C:\\Program Files\Black
