CartoPac Server Log On Methods

CartoPac Server is a web-based program that supports two different log in methods (authentication providers):

1. Windows Credentials (Active Directory Credentials). A Windows provider specifies that Windows credentials are used with CartoPac Server. Windows credentials are created outside of the CartoPac Server and used with many different applications. A Windows provider requires a domain for use with CartoPac Server but may be used with either a Login Form or Integrated Windows Authentication Mode, which is recommended when using a Windows provider to avoid having to enter Windows credential in a web form.

2. Internal Forms Authentication (CartoPac Managed Credentials). An Internal provider specifies the internal credentials (forms-based credentials) will be used with CartoPac Server. Internal credentials are created exclusively for CartoPac Server and are internal to CartoPac software. An Internal provider will require that the authentication mode uses the Login Form setting: a web form will be required to log in with internal credentials.

When Windows Integrated Authentication is configured, a user who is logged into their computer will automatically be logged into the CartoPac web application via their Active Directory credential set.  

When using Forms Authentication (CartoPac Managed Authentication), usernames must be entered into a web form on the Log On page of the CartoPac web application.
