Authentication Methods in ConSol CM

For the authentication of users in ConSol CM, you can configure one of the following three methods:

• Standard / Database
  All user data is kept in the ConSol CM database. This authentication method is available for engineers (see Database Authentication for Engineers) and customers (see Database Authentication for Customers).
• LDAP
  The credentials are kept in an LDAP server. ConSol CM sends a request to this server to authenticate the users. This authentication method is available for engineers (see LDAP Authentication for Engineers in the Web Client) and customers (see LDAP Authentication for Customers in CM/Track).
• Kerberos SSO
  The credentials are taken from a valid session using Kerberos, see Single Sign-On in a Windows Domain Using Kerberos . This authentication method is only available for engineers in the Web Client.
