Managing Authentication Services
Users must be authenticated before they may access or perform any tasks in the DSView
management software system.
When users log in, they will be prompted for a username and password. The DSView software will
look up the login, determine the authentication service to use and forward the login credentials to
the appropriate authentication service for verification. All authentication is performed over an
HTTPS (SSL) encrypted link.
NOTE: Some web browsers may store password information. See your web browser documentation for
more information.
The DSView software is delivered with the DSView internal authentication service, which verifies
a log in and password against user account information stored in the database on the DSView
software server.
The DSView software also supports the following external authentication services:
• Microsoft Active Directory
®

•IBM
®
SecureWay
®
Directory Server *
• Novell
®
LDAP Services *
•Sun
®
Solaris™ R9 LDAP Directory Server *

• Microsoft IAS for Windows 2000/2003 server
• FreeRADIUS for Red Hat RHL3
• Cisco Secure ACS 3.3 for Windows 2000/2003 server
* Uses LDAP V3
If the DSView software server is configured for external authentication, login requests are re-
directed to the configured external authentication server.
NOTE: The DSView software obtains external group membership and external user information when a user
logs in. If a user’s group membership changes or the user is deleted externally, the DSView software will not see
these changes until the next time the user logs in.
