Login Configuration
A Model Manager server can be configured to use the following authentication mechanisms when a user tries to log in:
Local Authentication. The username and password provided on the Log In page are compared with the username and (hashed) password stored in a local settings database in the Model Manager server Preference Directory.
External Authentication. The username and password provided on the Log In page are compared with that found in an external credentials storage using, for example, Windows® authentication or lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP).
Proxy Authentication. The authentication is delegated to a reverse proxy placed in front of the Model Manager server. Any HTTP requests passed from the reverse proxy to the Model Manager server are trusted to have already been authenticated by the proxy.
