Using database servers
ePolicy Orchestrator can retrieve data from not only its own databases, but those provided by some
extensions as well.
You might need to register several different server types to accomplish tasks within ePolicy
Orchestrator. These can include authentication servers, Active Directory catalogs, ePolicy Orchestrator
servers, and database servers that work with specific extensions you have installed.
