6.4.10 Changing the authentication method of a user

The following describes how to change the authentication method of a user.

Who can perform this task:

Users who have User Management permission and belong to the Admin role

To change the authentication method of a user:

  1. Display the Administration window.

  2. In the Administration area, click the Users and Permissions menu command.

  3. In the tree in the Users and Permissions window, click the Users node.

  4. In the User List area, select the user or users whose authentication method you want to change, and then click the Change Authentication Method button.

    Tip

    You can select multiple users by selecting the check boxes beside the User ID column. You can also select all users except for built-in accounts by selecting the check box beside the column header.

  5. From the Authentication pull-down menu in the Change Authentication Method dialog box, select the new authentication for the user or users.

    To perform user authentication in JP1/AO, select Internal. To perform user authentication in Active Directory, select LDAP.

  6. In the Change Authentication Method dialog box, click the OK button.

Result of operation:

The user authentication method is changed.

Important

If you change the authentication method from LDAP to Internal for a user whose password is not managed in JP1/AO, the user account is locked automatically, and that user can no longer log in to JP1/AO. The user account will be unlocked when you set a password for the user in JP1/AO, or change the authentication method back to LDAP.
