About Windows Domain Authentication

Windows Domain authentication relies on the Windows network security system for SBM authentication. To validate users via this method, SBM login IDs must match each user’s network login ID.

In the Other Settings tab, you can specify an IIS application that is configured with anonymous access in the IIS application for external authentication field. This enables external users access to SBM without having to log in to your domain. For details, see Other Settings.

You can validate users against a Windows Domain with or without Single Sign-On:

• If you want to take advantage of SSO for user authentication, select Single Sign-On and authenticate browser users via Windows Authentication. SBM Configurator automatically updates the SSO configuration files with the required settings to authenticate users against your Windows domain when you click Apply.
• If you want IIS to authenticate users, select SBM Session Cookies and authenticate browser users via Windows Authentication. SBM Configurator automatically updates IIS with the required application settings to authenticate users against your Windows domain when you click Apply.
