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.

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
