Security Overview
Security in the Fusion Registry is split into two distinct functions, Authentication and Authorisation. Authentication is the process of ensuing user credentials match up against a valid user account, and then loading the user details into the session. Authorisation is the process of ensuring a user is allowed to perform the action they are trying to perform.
The Fusion Registry has a single in built account for the root user, this is set up on installation.
In order to support additional users, the Fusion Registry can link to an external Authentication Server, this may be Fusion Security or Microsoft Active Directory.
In Addition to the root user, additional users can log in
The Fusion Registry
provides a number of methods for user Authentication, they are:
- Use the Fusion Security Web Server to Authenticate Users
- Use Active Directory to Authenticate Users
- Use Certificate Authentication
