JP1 Version 12 JP1/Data Highway - Server Administrator Guide


2.1.1 Configuring the authentication system

Configure the authentication system that defines and manages information related to the authentication infrastructure to be used for logging in to JP1/DH - Server.

Two types of authentication system are available: standard authentication system and LDAP authentication system.

The standard authentication system is defined by default. The standard authentication system is used for authentication with user IDs and passwords that are defined and managed in JP1/DH - Server or for authentication by the electronic certificates.

An LDAP authentication system is used for authentication with a directory server. You can log in to JP1/DH - Server by using your user ID and password registered in the directory server. You do not need to manage passwords in JP1/DH - Server. However, because user information registered in JP1/DH - Server is used for managing the authentication rules and delivery rules for this product, the users whose user IDs are registered in the directory server must also be registered to JP1/DH - Server.

The LDAP authentication system is not defined by default. You must create a definition for LDAP authentication system for each linked directory server. In this system, you cannot log in by using the standard password authentication or electronic certificate authentication of JP1/DH - Server.

A representative user configures an authentication system. For details about window operations related to configuration of the authentication system, see the following table.
