Altair Panopticon Visualization Server Installation and Reference Help

Windows Authentication

The Panopticon Visualization Server supports Windows authentication. The Panopticon Visualization Server will authenticate a user towards the local machine and verify its credentials with the existing and configured users on the Windows machine. The Windows authentication operates similarly to the Basic authentication function. Both the username and the password are sent to the Panopticon Visualization Server which they are then verified.

To enable Windows authentication, set this property in the Panopticon.properties file:

authentication.type=WINDOWS

NOTE	Single Sign On is currently not supported with the Windows authentication. In addition, Windows authentication only supports authentication towards the local machine. This means that the machine where the Panopticon Visualization Server is deployed on also has to manage all of the users.
