About user authentication
You can use an external authentication server (LDAP directory server, RADIUS server, or Kerberos
server for user authentication) to authenticate user accounts for P9000 Command View AE Suite
products and centrally manage the accounts with other application programs.
For each user, you can specify whether the account is authenticated as an account exclusive to P9000
Command View AE Suite products or authenticated using an external authentication server.
NOTE:
If you also want to link to an external
authorization server, you can manage the user accounts that
can use P9000 Command View AE Suite products per authorization group. For details on the necessary
settings, see “
