External Authentication

This topic applies to both Software Logger and the Logger Appliance.

Besides providing a local password authentication method, your system supports Client Certificate/CAC, LDAP, and RADIUS authentication. It is not possible to enable all authentication methods simultaneously. 

To enable external authentication:

  1. Click System Admin from the top-level menu bar.

  2. Click Authentication in the Users/Groups section.
  3. Click the External Authentication tab.
  4. Select an authentication method from the menu.
  5. Click Save.

Note: CAC is a form of client certificate authentication. Information on client certificate authentication applies to CAC.
