Windows Authentication

On the Windows Authentication page, you can work with your IT administrator to set up Windows authentication details, including the following:

• Server Name
• Domain Name
• Organization Unit

This information includes the LDAP details for the server with which you will connect to fetch any AD User or AD Group information required for Windows authentication. This is required for cross-forest or cross-domain scenarios where the credentials used to log in to Studio Manager do not provide access to the Active Directory of other domains.

You can select one of the following two options: 

1. Using the Application Pool Identity. For this option, check the Use Application Pool Identity checkbox. The Application Pool Identity user accesses ('connects to') the Active Directory of the provided LDAP Server. Ensure that the Application Pool Identity user has rights to access Active Directory on the LDAP server.
2. Using Credentials. For this option, do not check the Use Application Pool Identity checkbox. The user provided accesses ('connects to') the Active Directory of the provided LDAP Server.

Host URL

The Host URL can be changed by the Global Administrator. This is particularly useful when working with load balancing scenarios.
