Specifying Basic Authentication Settings

Administrators logging into the Administration Console can be authenticated either by using the Basic User Password, LDAP User-Password, or WebFort Password mechanism. The mechanism to be used is determined by the option that you select while creating the organization:

• 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 AuthMinder Server (as discussed in "Configuring AuthMinder Connectivity").
