Basic Authentication ProviderΒΆ
The Basic Authentication Provider uses a user/group service for authentication. To configure the provider you have to specify a name for the provider and choose one of the available user/group service.
We are going to configure a new Authentication provider, but first we need to create a new user/group service. Look at User/group service page to see how to create it. When you have the service configured, go on and:
From the Welcome page click the Authentication link on the Menu Security section.
Click Add new in the Authentication Providers menu
- Insert
testprovider
in theName
text field. - Select
testservice
fromUser/Group service
combo box.
- Insert
Click the Save button.
From the Welcome page click the Authentication link on the Menu Security section.
Select the testprovider element in the Available list of the Provider Chain menu
Click the arrow right button to add the element to the Selected list
Click the Save button.
Now, we have activated a new Authentication provider, having a new administrator user, named test. To verify it:
- Click the Logout button on the top right part of the page.
- Insert
test
in theUsername
andPassword
text fields on the top right part of the page. - Click the Login button on the top right part of the page.
You should be now logged in with the test user, with administrative rights.
