Configuring Integrated Logon

Avalanche allows Console users to log in to the Avalanche Console using the same information they use to log in to the network.

Integrated logon is disabled by default; however, you can enable authentication through the Secure Plus authentication service or through Windows Active Directory LDAP authentication. When you select to use Windows Active Directory LDAP service, users are authenticated using standard Java LDAP APIs. You must specify the IP address of the server.

When you select either integrated logon option, users with network logins can log on to the Avalanche Console as Normal users. These accounts will not have any permissions assigned to them until an administrator configures permissions for each user.

If you have configured user accounts in the User Management dialog box and then enable the integrated logon feature, those users configured in the Console will not be allowed to access the Console. The only users allowed to access the Console will be those that can be authenticated through integrated logon.

Note:   The default amcadmin account will able to login with or without integrated logon enabled.

To enable integrated logon:

1   Click Tools > User Management.

The User Management dialog box appears.

2   Select from the following options:
Enable the Windows Active Directory Authentication through Wavelink Secure Plus Server option.
Enable the Authentication through LDAP Server option and then enter the address of the LDAP Server.
3   Click OK.
4   Log out of the Console.

Avalanche is now configured to recognized authenticated system users.
