Authentication Types:

Authentication Types

1, Enterprise authentication

Use the system default Enterprise Authentication if you prefer to create distinct accounts and groups

for use with BusinessObjects Enterprise, or if you have not already set up a hierarchy of users and

groups in a Windows NT user database, an LDAP directory server, or a Windows AD

server.

2, Windows NT authentication

If you are working in a Windows NT environment, you can use existing NT user accounts and groups in

BusinessObjects Enterprise. When you map NT accounts to BusinessObjects Enterprise, users are able

to log on to BusinessObjects Enterprise applications with their NT user name and password. This can

reduce the need to recreate individual user and group accounts within BusinessObjects Enterprise

3, LDAP authentication

If you set up an LDAP directory server, you can use existing LDAP user accounts and groups in

BusinessObjects Enterprise. When you map LDAP accounts to BusinessObjects Enterprise, users are

able to access BusinessObjects Enterprise applications with their LDAP user name and

password. This eliminates the need to recreate individual user and group accounts within

BusinessObjects Enterprise

4, Windows AD authentication

If you are working in a Windows 2000 environment, you can use existing AD user accounts and

groups in BusinessObjects Enterprise. When you map AD accounts to BusinessObjects Enterprise,

users are able to log on to BusinessObjects Enterprise applications with their AD user name and

password. This eliminates the need to recreate individual user and group accounts within

BusinessObjects Enterprise
