Configure the default domain to use when performing authentication (optional) - syncsort_capacity_management - 12 - 12.40

This is an optional step. Windows accounts are used with Basic authentication. These may be domain accounts, or accounts that are local to the IIS machine. By setting a domain name, the user is freed from having to enter domain\username when they authenticate.

1. To set which domain to use, open the IIS Manager and drill down to a node with the same name as the virtual directory of the Portal (for example, Portal).
2. Open Authentication, right-click Basic Authentication and select Edit from the context menu. Enter the domain to use under Default domain.

3. With the above settings, a user could authenticate using just a user ID of User1, rather than DOMAIN1\User1.
