Each user is assigned their own AuthenticationScheme. This allows different users to use different schemes appropriate to
the user type. Some schemes apply to both Fox and Web. Other schemes, such as HTTP-Basic, apply only to certain web logins
(for example, Obix clients). These schemes do not work over Fox or even via the form login.
Prerequisites: The authentication scheme to use has been added to the AuthenticationService.
By default, each new station comes with the
DigestScheme and
AXDigestScheme already installed. The
DigestScheme is assigned to all users, so that in simple cases no additional setup is required.
Perform the following steps:
- Right-click UserService in the Nav tree and click .
The User Manager view opens.
- Select the user and click Edit.
The UserService Property Sheet opens.
- Scroll down to
Authentication Scheme Name and expand the Authenticator section.
- To assign an authentication scheme, select the scheme from the
Authentication Scheme Name drop-down list.
Once these setup steps are complete, the station is ready for authentication.
