Assigning authentication schemes to users

Each user is assigned their own AuthenticationScheme. This allows different users to use different schemes appropriate to the user type. Some schemes apply to both Fox and Web. Other schemes, such as HTTP-Basic, apply only to certain web logins (for example, Obix clients). These schemes do not work over Fox or even via the form login.

The authentication scheme to use has been added to the AuthenticationService.
By default, each new station comes with the DigestScheme and AXDigestScheme already installed. The DigestScheme is assigned to all users, so that in simple cases no additional setup is required.
  1. Right-click UserService in the Nav tree and click Views > User Manager.
    The User Manager view opens.
  2. Select the user and click Edit.
    The UserService Property Sheet opens.
  3. Scroll down to Authentication Scheme Name and expand the Authenticator section.
  4. To assign an authentication scheme, select the scheme from the Authentication Scheme Name drop-down list.
Once these setup steps are complete, the station is ready for authentication.
