All users must have a valid account in infoRouter before they can access its secure resources. infoRouter user accounts are created by the System Administrator and are stored in infoRouter's own security database.

Your user account is what identifies you both to the system and to other users. It allows you to check documents in and out, and it allows you to be granted permissions within the document and folder security framework.

LDAP Authentication:

In this mode, users are authenticated directly by LDAP.

User accounts in LDAP can be imported and synchronized with infoRouter. When a user attempts to log into infoRouter, their credentials are passed on to and authenticated from LDAP not infoRouter. User passwords are maintained and managed in LDAP so these users can login to infoRouter as long as they are authenticated by LDAP. Click here to learn more about Importing LDAP Users and Groups.

infoRouter Authentication:

In this mode, users are authenticated directly by infoRouter (even if they have been imported from LDAP). This mode is commonly used in environments that support a number of users who are not a part of an NT domain. (e.g. clients, vendors, etc.). All users are maintained inside infoRouter so changes to user passwords must be performed within infoRouter.

Mixed Security Authentication:

It is possible to have a set of users who authenticate from Windows and another set of users authenticate from infoRouter. The "Authentication Type" setting in the "User Properties" window determines whether a user is authenticated from Windows or infoRouter.
