User Authentication

138

Redirection — when accessing any website (unless access to this page is explicitly

allowed to unauthenticated users — see chapter

12.2

).

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.

Using NTLM — if Internet Explorer or Firefox/SeaMonkey is used and the user is au-

thenticated in a Windows NT domain or Active Directory, the user can be authenticated

automatically (the login page will not be displayed). For details, see chapter

25.3

.

User authentication advanced options

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

Users.
