Enable Windows Authentication

Use this procedure to enable Windows Authentication.

You enable Windows Authentication to use a Windows user account to connect to the database. The user account must be created as a valid user account in the server and have the appropriate rights to a database.

To enable Windows Authentication:

1. In the Navigation pane, select SECURITY > System.
   The System form displays with the AUTHENTICATION tab selected by default.
2. On the Authentication tab, in the Authentication Mode drop-down list, select Windows.
3. In the Authentication Type drop-down list, select Windows Domain\User Name (Domain\User).
4. If the Windows authentication mode is enabled and a Windows group is specified, select the group to which the user belongs in the Group Membership drop-down list.
5. When you are done, click Save.

   For users to be able to log in using Windows Authentication, make sure that the Windows Authentication option is selected on the Users Authentication tab.
