Configuring basic authentication

To configure a user's personnel record to use basic authentication, complete the following steps:
  1. In the Navigation pane, click Options & Tools.
  2. In the Options & Tools pane, select System Variables.
  3. Open the Systems Operations system variables.
  4. Make sure that Allow Web Portal Basic Authentication is set to True.
  5. To list eligible Hosts, navigate to the Personnel pane and perform a Quick Search.
    See Using a quick search to find Hosts, Requesters or Approvers.
  6. Select the person that you want to edit.
  7. On the Web and Email tab, in the Email address field, enter the email address for the person.
  8. Leave the Windows Principal field blank.

    If the Windows Principal field is not blank, the system uses Windows authentication for the Host and disables basic authentication for that particular Host record.

  9. In the Options list, ensure that the Can Host Visits, Can Approve Requests, or Can Submit Requests privileges are selected.
  10. Click Save and Close.
When this person accesses the C•CURE Portal and registers for access, they are sent a link in an email so that they can select a password for basic authentication.
