Configuring a server to use plug-ins


You might want to use plug-ins for these purposes:

  • AR System database connectivity (ARDBC)—To create a  vendor form to access external data. For information about vendor forms, see Creating-vendor-forms.
  • AR System external authentication (AREA)—To resolve user accounts against directory services.
  • AR System filters (ARF)—To make a call from workflow to external services and to capture returned data.
