Choosing an Authentication Scheme

To specify the authentication scheme you want to use for P6 EPPM applications, use the P6 EPPM Authentication tab of the Primavera P6 Administrator. Although you specify authentication modes for client/server applications and Web applications separately, you must use a consistent authentication scheme within P6 EPPM. For example, client/server and Web applications must both be configured for either LDAP authentication or native authentication.

Authentication mode is database-driven, so the configuration utility enables you to first specify a database connection setting, then choose authentication modes for the applications that access that database.

For LDAP authentication, the configuration utility also enables you to specify LDAP servers, map LDAP attributes to P6 EPPM database fields, and provision users.
