Thank you Marco, poco a poco 😉 I understanding about relation between WHMCS and SolidCP. Only one question, when I using this scenario, don't adding information of users in to AD? This mean, all information of users (like name, password, etc) will stay on SolidCP DB?

That is only for the SolidCP login. everything else (exchange/ sfb / lync etc) does through AD and is not locally stored in SolidCP

Well, I think, I can't pass you my comment.

I want know which of chain in below is correct:

1- End user buy a product from WHMCS --> Create an user information in SolidCP --> Create same user information in AD

or

2- End user buy a product from WHMCS --> Create an user information in SolidCP

Thank you for your attention and your help.

I know SolidCP and MSPControl forked from websitepanel. I ask same question in MSPC forum, but there give me different answer. They say 1 chain is correct. That mean:

"End user buy a product from WHMCS –> Create an user information in SolidCP –> pass a copy of same user information to AD"

But you say, SolidCP don't pass anything of user information to AD for Adding.

It depends what information your talking about.

SolidCP login (to login to solidcp it self) is simply stored in the Database of SolidCP (not AD)

Hosted Organizations (AD users, Exchange, Lync, Skype for business, RDS accounts) are in Active Directory and only limitedly stored in SolidCP Database
for hosted org section you ofcourse can adjust user information, password, email address and any other resource needed for the Services you host

Thank you again for your companionship.

You mean, I will use AD stuff when I used these services in SolidCP:
Exchange, Lync, SfB, RDS ?

My target in this project is "One username and password for all services" and then "Single Sign On"

Suppose, at the future, I will be development any SaaS (Software as a Service) applications that will be integrated with AD (Like Lync or SfB). My priority is, these applications connect directly to AD, but it is not possible, because user's information in AD not match with SolidCP (If 2st chain is correct -> End user buy a product from WHMCS –> Create an user information in SolidCP -> don't pass anything information of users to AD for adding).

So, I think best solution for resolve this problem, I should be integrated all my SaaS applications with member DB of SolidCP. This solution not pleasant for me, because I will use the software that currently on the market in 3 years later, And AD have a good market share. I don't want skip it.

Could you give me a solution for matching AD and SolidCP about user's information?

Well as i stated at the start i don't think it's currently possible to have SSO with whmcs + solidcp (or most other panels)

I don't think it would be that complex to make the SolidCP user login in AD / LDAP aswell but it's currently not yet developped.

At the moment the closest you can get is:
1) WHMCS user
2) SolidCP user
3) AD User (exchange, sfb, lync, rds, and so on)
