Authentication Type
Security options differ widely depending on your WebMap version’s authentication model. Under Configuration > Authentication Type make your selection from the drop-down menu.
- Windows Authentication: when the WebMap server can directly access the domain controller. Users are authenticated by Windows and IIS. Users and group memberships are managed by Active Directory.
- OpenID Authentication: when domain usernames and passwords are required, but WebMap is hosted remotely. Communication with the domain controller is through Identity Server.
- Identity Authentication: when custom security is required or the domain controller cannot be reached. Also known as Forms Authentication.
