Adding Visual Basic Script Authentication Providers

Note:

Use the following procedure when running FDM without Shared Services.

  To add Visual Basic Script authentication providers:

  1. On the Authentication Providers tab, click Add.

  2. On the Add Authentication Providers screen, select Visual Basic Script Authentication.

    For item descriptions, hover the mouse over an information icon.

    The image shows the FDM Load Balance Manager Visual Basic Script Authentication screen as described in the text preceding and following the image.

  3. As needed, perform these actions:

    • Description—Enter a description for the provider.

    • Visual Basic Script—Enter the Visual Basic script that will perform authentication.

    • Enabled—Check this option to force FDM to use the Visual Basic script as the authentication provider. There must be at least one enabled authentication provider.

  4. Test the authentication:

    1. Click Logon Test.

    2. On the Logon Test dialog box, enter a user name, password, and domain name.

    3. Click OK.

  To add Visual Basic script SSO authentication providers:

  1. On the Authentication Providers tab, click Add.

  2. On the Add Authentication Providers screen, select Visual Basic Script SSO Authentication.

    The following dialog box is displayed. To the right of each item is an information icon. Hovering the mouse over an icon displays a description of the item.

    The image shows the FDM Load Balance Manager Visual Basic Script Authentication screen as described in the text preceding and following the image.

  3. As needed, perform these actions:

    1. Description—Enter a description for the provider.

    2. Visual Basic Script—Enter the Visual Basic script that will perform single sign-on authentication.

    3. Enabled—Check this option to force FDM to use Visual Basic Script SSO as an authentication provider.

      Because SSO authentication does not apply to the FDM Workbench client, at least one authentication provider must be enabled (other than the Visual Basic script SSO authentication).
