Supported Authentication Modes

The P6 Professional API provides support for the following authentication modes to validate user logins:

Native is the default mode for P6 EPPM. In Native mode, the P6 EPPM database acts as the authority and the application handles the authentication of the user who is logging into that application.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authenticates users through a directory and is available for all applications. You can use LDAP referrals with Oracle Internet Directory and Microsoft Windows Active Directory. LDAP referrals allow authentication to extend to another domain. You can also configure multiple LDAP servers, which supports failover and enables you to search for users in multiple LDAP stores. An LDAP directory server database confirms the user's identity when they attempt to login to the application.
