from the IP address. However, users may authenticate from other hosts (using the

methods described above).

IP addresses for automatic authentication can be set during definition of user account

(see chapter

15.1

).

Note: This authentication method is not recommended for cases where hosts are used

by multiple users (user’s identity might be misused easily).

Login by re-direction is performed in the following way: user enters URL pages that he/she

intends to open in the browser. WinRoute detects whether the user has already authenticated.

If not, WinRoute will re-direct the user to the login page automatically. After a successful

login, the user is automatically re-directed to the requested page or to the page including the

information where the access was denied.

Note: Users will be redirected to a secured or unsecured web interface according to the fact

which version of web interface is allowed (see chapter

11.1

). If both versions are allowed, the

secured web interface will be used.

User authentication advanced options

Login/logout parameters can be set on the Authentication Options tab under Users and Groups

Users.
