DMINISTRATION
The server has an internal database for administration of local users. These tools are adequate for a small
department or organization with a limited number of users.
2.5.1 L OCAL U SERS
Clicking on the Users tab will display a list of users and their Roles stored in the internal database.
The Users tab allows the addition and deletion of users and assignment of Roles to each user.
2.5.2 E XTERNAL U SERS
Larger organizations will typically have a centralized database of usernames, passwords and authorizations which
all applications will check for credentials.
The most common technology for this service is LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) or a similar system
used in Microsoft environments called Active Directory.
Configuring the server for access to these systems should be planned well in advance of actual service start.
A typical administration screen for an LDAP installation is shown below.
