To access ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 applications, different authentication types are used:
Windows authentication – a user tries to login to the server using the same credential under which the user browser runs. (Using
UTF-8-encoded characters in the user name and the password may be not supported.) To pass Windows authentication, the user
must be either a local user of the computer or a user of the domain which includes this computer.
Basic authentication – login and password are transmitted over the network in clear text. To pass Windows authentication, the
user must be either a local user of the computer or a user of the domain which includes this computer.
Anonymous authentication – the server does not require the client to transfer the credential. Users accessing the server operate
under a special local account, that is, they are considered local users and are authenticated on their computers.
FlexiCapture authentication module (ABBYY FlexiCapture Authentication) – user name and password are passed the same
way as when using Basic authentication, authentication is performed against a FlexiCapture database which stores users’ logins
and password hashes. To pass the authentication, it is necessary that the login and password of the account match the login and
password specified in the FlexiCapture database. This makes it possible to use logins and passwords which are not related to
Windows user accounts.
By default FlexiCapture Authentication Module is not installed during the installation of servers. In this case, the following au-
thentication settings are specified in IIS:
