Reviewing user sessions

You can add user accounts to the appliance and set up the accounts using local authentication. If you require external user authentication, such as an LDAP or an Active Directory® server, you can configure an external server to enable users to log in to the Administrator Console using their domain credentials.

Local Authentication

Use the default local authentication when an LDAP service, such as Active Directory, is not available in the environment.

External LDAP Server Authentication

Use your domain credentials to log in to the Administrator Console. See Use an LDAP server for authentication.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Provide stronger security for users logging into the appliance by adding 2FA to the login process . See Use an LDAP server for authentication.

NOTE: If you have linked appliances, you can use single sign-on if you use the same login and password on all linked appliances.
