QPR ProcessAnalyzer uses two methods for authenticating users:
- the built-in authentication method in which the user is authenticated against the passwords in QPR ProcessAnalyzer database
- the LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) authentication method in which the user is authenticated by validating the username against a corporate LDAP server
Configuring the Authentication Settings
The authentication method options can be configured in the PA_CONFIGURATION table in the QPR ProcessAnalyzer database. The relevant options are listed in the following table:
| Name |
Description |
Value
|
| AuthenticationMethod |
Indicates which authentication method is used.
|
*1 = The user is authenticated against the passwords in QPR ProcessAnalyzer database.
- 2 = The user is authenticated using the LDAP method by validating the username against a corporate LDAP server.
- 3 = The user is authenticated using both methods: if LDAP authentication fails, then logging in will be done using the built-in authentication method.
