FM Server 7 Active Directory integration?

[motabs]

Does anyone know how integrated FM Server 7 will be with Windows' Active Directory? Before I started with Server 5.5 (currently using it) I read about the AD integration and thought I could define FM permissions by AD user/group - obviously I couldn't. I'm planning to upgrade to FM Server 7 when it arrives - right now my FM setup doesn't have user-level security and before I go and spend 30+ hours building it into my 9-file system, I want to know if my efforts are worthwhile. If FMS7 will be able to read usernames and logins from AD then I'm going to wait.

Any info?

Anyone get a pre-release version of FMS 7 yet?
