Select authentication type

You can allow users to log on using their internal OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering password, LDAP password, or SSO authentication.

Overview

The authentication method is defined in Administration per tenant, on the basis of one type of authentication per farm.

Authentication Description
Application

OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering's built-in, native, internal user management. Enables the user to define a user name and password internally. Every authentication is performed with the Users table. For details, see Application authentication.
LDAP

Enables you to use your organization's LDAP system for authenticating users. For details, see LDAP authentication.
SSO

Enables you to set up single sign-on (SSO) authentication for connecting to OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering. Each can define one SSO configuration. For details, see SSO authentication.

Note:  

  • We recommend using SSO or LDAP because they are a more secure type of authentication.

  • All users using the system must be in the database before they can be authenticated using one of the authentication types. For details, see Create or edit a user.
