Configuring external authentication for users
External authentication systems can be used to authenticate user logins.
External authentication systems, such as LDAP (for example, Active Directory), RADIUS, or Kerberos
may be used to authenticate XP7 Command View AE users as they log in. You can re-configure existing
accounts, or create new accounts to use external authentication.
Prerequisites
•
The XP7 Command View AE server must be linked to an external authentication server. See the
HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Administrator Guide.
•
The XP7 Command View AE server must be configured to support user authentication, which ac-
tivates the Change Auth button in the GUI, and which presents authentication options such as In-
ternal for a local account, or LDAP for external authentication.
•
The XP7 Command View AE user ID must exist on the external authentication server. It is recom-
mended that user ID information be acquired from the external authentication server administrator
before creating accounts.
