The Security tab contains settings for user access rights.
Authentication Type
Indicates how the users of the application should be authenticated in Component mode (specific Necto components – view, workboard, folder or entire application – placed in other web portals or applications). The possibilities are:
· Inherit: Use the default authentication method as defined via the Administration option.
· Windows: Necto supports integration with Active Directory users and Windows Integrated Authentication. This means that users already authenticated to a domain will have transparent access to workboards, and will not be asked for login information (user name and password).
· Necto: Users can be created via the Users option. These users, in contrast to Active Directory users, will be redirected to a login page when accessing Necto, where they will have to provide a username and a password.
· Mixed: Both Windows and Necto authentication are used. When a Windows user is not identified by Necto, he/she is redirected to the login page and prompted to enter a username and a password.
Default User Security Mode
You can set the default data security for the users of the application to one of the following options:
· Inherit: Use the default security mode as defined via the Administration option.
· No Security: All users can have access to the data.
· OLAP: Security based on OLAP definitions. The user must have an OLAP connection, or must be associated with a role in the Active Directory, or be associated to the Active Directory via a user alias.
Make sure Impersonate Roles is selected for role-based security unless the OLAP security is specifically set to impersonate users and roles are not being used.
· Necto: Based on data security definitions created in Necto.
