ABOUT AUTHENTICATION SOURCES


KnowledgeTree Default - Database Authentication

By default, KnowledgeTree's inbuilt authentication method stores information about users and groups in the KnowledgeTree database, and retrieves this information to control access to the KnowledgeTree document management system (DMS).


External Authentication Sources

If you want to maintain your own predefined user and group information to control access to KnowledgeTree, you can add users from a preconfigured external authentication source.


When using external authentication sources, you need to add the authentication source, then, when adding your users to KnowledgeTree, select your preferred authentication source. When a user from your preferred authentication source first logs in to KnowledgeTree, their user credentials are automatically imported into KnowledgeTree.
