Infor BI for Lawson authentication

Authentication is a post-installation requirement that determines whether users and their passwords are valid in a given context. Most Infor BI for Lawson applications do not store passwords. Instead, they use a third-party provider of authentication, called an authentication provider. The third-party product that provides lists of roles and users is a role provider.

You can use the System Configuration Assistant to modify the system configuration. It is accessible throughTools > System.
