Authentication tab

This tab is used to configure the authentication settings that will be used to authenticate a user that connects to the Web UI.

Authentication is always required for this component.
Option Description
Authentication type Specifies the type of authentication used by the component.
  • Integrated Windows: in this mode the sign-in credentials of the user are used. No additional configuration is necessary on this tab.
  • Active Directory: this mode uses Active Directory to authenticate users. Users must provide their windows user name, domain and password.
  • LDAP authentication: this mode uses authentication against an LDAP server.
    When you select the LDAP authentication type, you cannot edit Access control on the General tab of the desired form.
  • Custom script: with this method the administrator must provide a VB.NET script that contains the code for responding to the event that will be sent to the server when the user presses the sign-in button. The current field values are passed to the script using the Web Capture object model.
