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 that will 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 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 must first specify the connection information to the AuthMinder Server (as discussed in "Configuring AuthMinder Connectivity").
