Authentication tab
Settings on this tab allow you to enable and configure authentication settings for the component.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Authentication Type | Choose the authentication method to be used:
|
Windows | Windows authentication authenticates users using their Windows domain user name. In the Domain box,
specify the default domain for authenticating users. Enter only the domain name without the top-level domain designator (.com, .net, or .org). For example, If the user is mydomain/user1 (or user1@domain.com in UPN format), the domain should be “mydomain”, not “mydomain.com”. |
Netware | This authentication method prompts the user for a NetWare user name, password, context and tree.
|
Custom Script | When Custom is selected for Authentication Type, the administrator defines prompts that are displayed to
the user. An event is sent to the server when a user logs in. The administrator must provide the .NET plug-in DLL that responds to the
event.
|
User Info Lookup | Select the Use LDAP search to retrieve email check box
to have the server look up the email address and other attributes of the
authenticated user on a designated LDAP server. Click the
Configure button to configure the LDAP settings in the
LDAP Lookup Settings dialog box. When
Windows authentication is selected as the
Authentication Type, the email address is retrieved
automatically as part of the authentication and as a result an LDAP search is not
required if only the email address is needed. For information about specifying the LDAP server settings, see LDAP Lookup Settings dialog box. |
