To access ABBYY FlexiCapture 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 com-

puter.

Basic authentication – login and password are transmitted over the network in clear text. To pass Windows authen-

tication, 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 data-

base 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, the FlexiCapture Authentication Module is not installed during the installation of servers. In this case, the

following authentication settings are specified in IIS:
