User authentication for the CLC Server

On a single server or master node, log in as an administrative user. When first setting up the CLC Server, use the built-in administrative user, root. The default credentials for this user are provided in Logging into the administrative interface.

Specify the user authentication mechanism to use under:

        Configuration (Image configuration_16) | Authentication (Image authetication_16) | Authentication mechanism

The modes of authentication available are shown in figure 5.2.

Figure 5.2: Three modes of user authentication are available. Clicking on the Edit Permissions link at the bottom opens up the Permissions tab, where access to the CLC Server and its functionality can be configured.

When LDAP or Active Directory is selected, a settings panel is revealed, where the details of the integration are entered. See LDAP or Active Directory, respectively, for details.

Built-in authentication is described in Built-in authentication.
