Authentication

Authentication is the process of identifying the credentials of a user. Authentication ensures that users who cannot be identified are denied access to the system.

Users are authenticated by accessing the central database server. This makes a network and access to the database server critical to authentication. If the network is unavailable, or if access to the database is restricted, the users cannot be authenticated.

By default, the authentication mode of Infor Fashion PLM is set to Windows authentication. This mode uses Active Directory Integration, which means, a user name and a password is not required to access the application. If you disable Active Directory Integration, a user name and password is required to access the application.
