Authentication

The Settings > General tab enables you to configure and manage authentication for

1. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. As the name suggests, it is a lightweight client-server protocol for accessing directory services, specifically X. 500-based directory services. LDAP runs over TCP/IP or other connection-oriented transfer services.

2. LDAPS (LDAP over SSL): Also known as LDAP over TLS and LDAP over SSL, LDAPS allows for the encryption of LDAP data (which includes user credentials) in transit when a directory bind is being established, thereby protecting against credential theft.

3. TACACS: TACAS is a CISCO proprietary system utilizing a transmission control protocol (TCP). In TACAS, the entire authentication packet is fully encrypted and allows us to set up our own CISCO independent servers and databases. The AppViewX system allows you to add more than one Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System (TACACS) server for authentication.

4. RADIUS: RADIUS, which stands for "Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service", is a network protocol that controls user network access via authentication and accounting. The AppViewX system allows you to add more than one Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server for authentication.

5. SAML: SAML stands for Security Assertion Markup Language. It is an XML-based open-standard for transferring identity data between two parties: an identity provider (IdP) and a service provider (SP). The AppViewX system allows you to add more than one Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) server for authentication.

For detailed configuration, refer to Platform User Guide.

On the successful configuration of Authentication protocol in AppViewX, start importing user groups from AD or create manual user groups.
