Figure 38. Specifying a Security Provider

Select 'Enable Security' to activate security settings.
In the 'Authentication' menu, select the desired method for verifying user login credentials. In the 'Authorization' menu, select the desired method for assigning asset and activity permissions.
Enterprise Manager provides a default security provider to handle authentication, creation of users/groups/roles, and the storage of component permissions. For information on using the default security provider for authentication and/or authorization, see Configuring the Default Security Provider.
If your users/groups/roles have been pre-defined in an LDAP server (e.g., Active Directory), Enterprise Manager can access the existing LDAP data for authentication and/or authorization. For more information, see Configuring an LDAP Security Provider.
You can also create a custom security provider as a Java class that implements the 'Security Provider' interface, and which can be used when retrieving users/groups/roles from a database. See Custom Security Integration for more details.
