9.4 Authentication Server
The Authentication Server is a password and account management system for multiple
GV-VMS. Through the Authentication Server, the administrator can create the accounts with
different access rights to a group of GV-VMS. Once any GV-VMS is connected to the
Authentication Server, the previous password settings in local GV-VMS will be invalid. Local
GV-VMS will submit to the full control of the Authentication Server.
Note: In addition to the GV-VMS, the Authentication Server also supports GV-System,
E-Map Server and GV-Control Center V3.1.2.0 or earlier for central credential management.
Up to 1000 client accounts in total can be created.
