The Authentication section

This section is specific for the J2EE implementation of ITP/OnLine. In the ASP.NET implementation of ITP/OnLine, Integrated Windows Authentication is used to authenticate the user. In the ASP.NET implementation of ITP/OnLine, it is possible to disable NTLM authentication for custom applications by enabling Secure Mode for these applications. For more information about Secure Mode, refer to chapter Securing ITP/OnLine.

When using prepared models, the user can be authenticated by the integrating application and passed to ITP/OnLine Server as part of the preparation of the model run. This means that authentication of the user by ITP/OnLine Server on the web server should be optional. The setting Use NTLM authentication determines whether or not the user should be authenticated. Refer to ITP/Server: OnLine exit points for more information.

If the setting Use NTLM authentication is switched on, the setting Verify NTLM authentication becomes enabled. This setting can be used to determine whether ITP/OnLine should verify the passed credentials. In this case a (default) domain should be specified, where the authentication check will take place. Optionally, the IP address of an explicit domain controller may be configured through the parameter Domain Controller.

When used in a Microsoft Windows 2003 domain infrastructure where the Guest account has been disabled, the feature Use NTLM Authentication can require additional configuration. For detailed instructions, refer to the ITP/OnLine Server Installation Guide (for J2EE) chapter Authentication in a Microsoft Windows 2003 domain.

Note

When NTLM authentication is disabled you are only able to run prepared models. Normal model runs will result in an error message.
