* Uses LDAP V3
If the DSView server is configured for external authentication, login requests are re-directed to
the configured external authentication server.
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.
You may schedule a task that will automatically verify LDAP, Active Directory and NT
external authentication servers to ensure that accounts are still valid; see Task: Validating user
accounts on an external authentication server on page 371.
Authentication services may be managed only by DSView software administrators and user
administrators.
To display configured authentication services:
1. Click the Users tab.
2. Click Authentication in the top navigation bar. The User Authentication Services window
will open.
The User Authentication Services window may be customized by using the Customize link. See
Using the Customize link in windows on page 30.
To remove authentication services:
NOTE: The internal authentication service cannot be removed.
