CA 9.0 client authentication
In prior versions of CA client login was via a web driven interface via HTTP and IIS would authenticate the user to AD. Since version 8.0 and above it's been a client/server model and full client app. I have 2 questions about client authentication:
1. I've noticed when I launch the CA client it is doing integrarted windows (pass-through) authentication. Does the client send the authentication request to the CA server which contacts AD, or does the client itself reach out to AD?
2. What if a reviewer/admin needs to log in with a different CA profile than the one associated with the windows account s/he is logged in to the workstation with. Is there a way to set that up, for example so that CA client pops up a login window?
I Would appreciate anyone who has more info on these.
Thanks,
Fremont
Not sure, but I believe that CA is just verifying the user logged in to the user account stored in the CA database.
Right now there is not a user login available. You could have that person Remote Desktop into a computer with the credentials they need to use.
