Authentication
Authentication is a security feature that requires users to provide a network username and password
before using Digital Sending features. Authentication can be turned on or off for individual features
within each device that DSS supports.
NOTE: At no time are the credentials that are used to authenticate at the device written to either the
DSS server or the device hard disk. In addition, although the credentials that the DSS administrator
uses to configure authentication or LDAP addressing are written to the DSS server hard disk,
encryption is incorporated to ensure that these credentials cannot be recovered.

This section describes the two methods of authentication:
●
LDAP authentication

Windows Active Directory
LDAP Server
Many modern computer systems store and organize data in Directories. A Directory is a set of data
where the data for a particular entity is kept in a container and all the containers are organized in a
tree structure. Microsoft's Active Directory, the database associated with Windows Domain
Controllers, is a Directory based database, but there are many implementations of Directories from
different vendors. Directories not only store data but provide other services such as security and the
ability to authenticate users for Directory access.
LDAP, or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is an industry standard protocol for interacting with
Directories. Servers that host a directory which supports the LDAP protocol are called LDAP servers.
The LDAP configuration tab is where DSS is configured with all of the information it needs to interact
with an LDAP server in order to authenticate a user that has entered LDAP credentials at the device
control panel.
