Types of Authentication

CA EEM authenticates and authorizes all users who browse to CA Process Automation. CA EEM can authenticate users in either of the following ways:

Use the credentials that users enter in a form-based login dialog.
Use the NTLM protocol, if NTLM pass-through authentication is configured. This feature is often selected when CA EEM is configured to use Microsoft Active Directory as an external directory. The user credentials are automatically loaded to CA EEM for this configuration.

When a user browses to CA Process Automation, the Orchestrator determines the type of authentication to use:

Form-based: The CA Process Automation login page opens. The user enters credentials and login processing begins.
NTLM: The NTLM protocol authenticates the user to the CA EEM server and the Home page opens.
