Authentication and access management<br />

Standard authentication 5<br />

Enable integrated authentication — When selected, the integrated NTLM authentication method is<br />

applied to authenticate users<br />

Information that a user submits for authentication is then encrypted before it is sent to the Windows<br />

domain server.<br />

Enable NTLM cache — When selected, NTLM authentication information is stored in this cache<br />

Authentication is then based on this stored information, rather on information retrieved from the<br />

Windows domain server.<br />

NTLM cache TTL — Time (in seconds) that authentication information is stored in this cache<br />

International text support — Set of characters used by default for a request sent from a client, for<br />

example, ISO-8859-1<br />

Advanced Parameters<br />

Settings for advanced configuration of this authentication method<br />

Always perform new evaluation of property values — When selected, a new evaluation to assign<br />

a value to a property is performed each time a rule containing this property is processed. If a value has<br />

been stored for a property in the cache, it is not used.<br />

While it is normally recommended to let cache values be used to improve performance, there can be<br />

situations where the new evaluation of a property is required.<br />

In these situations, the same property is used more than once within the authentication rules and with<br />

the same settings of the Authentication module. A new evaluation ensures the most current value is<br />

assigned to the property each time.<br />

NTLM<br />

Settings specifying the NTLM method to authenticate users<br />

Note: These settings are provided if you have selected the NTLM authentication method and configured the<br />

settings for the Authentication module accordingly. The settings name can vary.<br />

Authentication Method, Authentication Test, Common Authentication Parameters, Advanced<br />

Parameters<br />

The meaning and usage of these settings are the same as for the User Database settings.<br />

For more information, see User Database.<br />

NTLM Specific Parameters<br />

Settings for the NTLM authentication method<br />

Default NTLM domain — Name of the default Windows domain used for looking up authentication<br />

information<br />

Note: This is one of the domains you have configured on the Appliances tab of the Configuration top-level<br />

menu.<br />

Get global groups — When selected, information on global user groups is searched for on the<br />

Windows domain server<br />

Get local groups — When selected, information on local user groups is searched for on the Windows<br />

domain server<br />

Prefix group name with domain name (domain\group) — When selected, the name of the<br />

Windows domain appears before the name of the user group when authentication information on this<br />

group is sent from the domain server<br />

Enable basic authentication — When selected, the basic NTLM authentication method is applied to<br />

authenticate users. Information that a user submits for authentication is then sent in plain-text format<br />

(less secure) to the Windows domain server<br />

Enable integrated authentication — When selected, the integrated NTLM authentication method is<br />

applied to authenticate users. Information that a user submits for authentication is then encrypted<br />

before it is sent to the Windows domain server<br />
