Authentication Realms

The Authentication Realms pane is used to create authentication realms and users. Authentication realms determine a user's identity within an authorization realm. Authentication is determined following the hierarchy of realms displayed on the Authentication Realms pane. In the example below, authentication will first be determined in the Internal Security realm followed by the LDAP realm. A user listed in the LDAP realm may have different authorizations from those in the other realms.

If you have a number of authentication realms, you can reorder them using the operation tools. Each realm can be moved up to a higher priority, moved down, or deleted by using the operation tools.
