Specifying Basic Authentication Settings

Administrators are authenticated by using the Basic User Password, LDAP User-Password, or WebFort Password mechanism. The option you select while creating the organization is used as the mechanism.

• If you selected the Basic User Password option, then you can either use the default authentication settings, or set new configurations as discussed in the Configuring the Basic Authentication Password Policy.
• If you selected the LDAP User Password option, the password that is stored in LDAP is used by the administrator to log in. The authentication policy is defined in the LDAP system.
• If you selected the WebFort Password option, then you first specify the connection information to the CA AuthMinder Server.
