| Authentication Mode

Select the mode of authentication that users use when logging on to the application.
- Basic — Select this option to use the user ID and password in the application database when logging on to the application.
When the authentication mode is set to
Basic and not all installed products are compatible with PPM Administrator, you cannot add a new user. The
New User button will be disabled on both the
Users Detail View and
Users List View.
- Windows — Select this option to use
Windows Authentication when logging on to the application. The supported authentication types are listed in the
Authentication Type drop-down list.
If this option is selected, you can only select
Windows Authentication on the Users Authentication tab.
- Mixed — Select this option to allow both the
Basic and
Windows authentication modes.
When the authentication mode is set to
Mixed and not all installed products are compatible with PPM Administrator, you can add a new record, but the user authentication will be set to
Windows Authentication by default. Both the
Basic Authentication user authentication option and the
Set Password button will be disabled on the Users Authentication tab.

Authentication Mode drop-down list.
Select one of the following authentication types:

- Windows User Principal Name <Windows User Name>@<Domain Name> — If you select this option, the Windows User Principal Name (which is typically the user's fully qualified domain email address) is authenticated against the list of email addresses in the application database. If a match is found, the user can log on to the application.
