Select authentication type
You can allow users to log on using their internal OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering password, LDAP password, or SSO authentication.
Note: 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.
Overview
The authentication method is defined in Administration per tenant, on the basis of one type of authentication per farm.
Note: We recommend using SSO or LDAP because they are a more secure type of authentication.
