Argus Users Directory Now Online

As the number of users of Argus continues to grow, there is a need for a centralised repository where the details of all Argus users can be added and maintained with the most up-to-date information for each site using Argus across Australia.

The Argus Users Directory is an LDAP Server hosted by ArgusConnect, whose purpose is to be a national repository of the details of all current Argus users. The Argus Users Directory is accessible by ArgusMessenger over the internet and also has a web interface (acessible only by Argus users who have an entry on the Directory). From version 4.1 of Argus onwards, all sites actively using Argus will be added to the Argus Users Directory with their clinical email address and public certificate. These new entries will be populated from the registration details provided by users when they register to use Argus.

All users of Argus can have their local address book kept up to date automatically with entries on the Argus Users Directory. In addition, users can search for new entries and download their details into their local address book.
