Authentication

Management > Administration > Authentication

Choose one of the following WorldServer authentication settings:
  • Default – WorldServer internal authentication, which requires no additional configuration (except for the creation of WorldServer users).
  • Enhanced – Enhanced authentication is the same as Default in terms of its internal authentication, but it allows for stricter password rules. If you change from default to enhanced authentication, existing users will be forced to change their passwords the first time they log in after the change.
  • LDAP – Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, an industry-standard open client/server protocol for accessing a directory service. In LDAP authentication, authentication information is supplied in the "bind" operation.
  • Forgotten Password Procedures – Follow this procedure to reset the password for a user who has forgotten their password. This can be either the current method of sending the request to a system administrator or the new setting where a temporary password is automatically sent to the user.
  • Mixed Authentication - Provides a simple chain authentication mechanism. This feature allows the user to set which authenticator should be used and their order. It will apply for each user the security policies correspondent to the authenticator they use to login.
