Viewing and Setting Authentication Providers for Individual Users
You set an authentication method in the User Authentication Providers view and these
settings carry over to all users by default. See “Setting User Authentication Providers and
Importing Users” on page 96 for details.
You can change the methods by which individual users can be authenticated. The method
must be enabled in the User Authentication Providers view (a global authentication method)
before it is available for the individual user. If you set an authentication method for an
individual user, and later change the global authentication method, the individual user does
not inherit the global settings.
You can select more than one authentication provider. The list of providers is checked on
logon and if one provider authenticates the user, the user can log on.
The following table provides information about the authentication providers you can select:

If you do not select an authentication method for a user, the user cannot log in.
Type of Authentication Description

Unity password.
Internal Authentication The user can log in to the Interplay database using the password
you set in the User Management view. By default, the password
field in the Attributes pane is empty. The user can change this
password anytime in the Interplay login dialog box.
LDAP Authentication The user can log in to the Interplay database using an LDAP user
name and password.
Windows Domain Authentication The user can log in to the Interplay database using a Windows
domain user name and password.
