When it is enabled, the authentication
process begins when the DataFlux Data Management Server receives a
connection request from a client. The DataFlux Data Management Server
passes the supplied user credentials to a SAS Metadata Server. The
other server then submits the credentials to an authentication provider
in the specified network domain. The result of the authentication
attempt is then returned to the DataFlux Data Management Server. Successful
authentication enables the DataFlux Data Management Server to begin
the authorization process.
Authentication is enabled
on the DataFlux Data Management Server with the configuration option
DMSERVER/SECURE, in the configuration file dmserver.cfg.
