1.14 Linking with JP1/Base authentication

By linking with JP1/Base, you can use the authentication functionality of JP1/Base to manage and authenticate JP1/AO users.

When you use JP1/Base to manage users, you can create users from the JP1/Base user interface and assign JP1 resource groups and permission levels. By giving JP1 resource groups and permission levels the same names as JP1/AO resource groups and roles respectively, you can manage JP1 users as JP1/AO users.

There are several advantages to linking with JP1/Base:

• You do not need to manage users and user groups in JP1/AO.

• You can use existing JP1 users.

The following figure shows a general overview of user authentication when linking with JP1/Base.

To link JP1/AO with the authentication functionality of JP1/Base, you need to set a configuration file for external authentication server linkage. In a cluster system, make sure that you use the same settings on the primary and secondary nodes.

After linking with the JP1/Base authentication functionality, when you log in to JP1/AO from a user account that is not registered in JP1/AO, the authentication process is performed by JP1/Base. When a user registered in JP1/AO logs in to JP1/AO, authentication and permissions are managed by JP1/AO without any involvement by JP1/Base.
