Configuration Authentication Settings
This section provides a detailed guide on configuring Orchestra with an anonymous authentication method.
The core concept revolves around two key configuration files located in the config directory:
-
security_base_groups.xml: Defines the base groups and roles within Orchestra.
-
security_settings.xml: Manages the mapping of external groups and roles to the defined Orchestra roles.
You will find step-by-step instructions on configuring these files, as well as setting up the respective authentication method in the Orchestra Monitor.
When anonymous authentication is enabled, a mapping between various external authentication types and the internal Orchestra rights is required.
The basic idea is that membership in external groups serves as an indicator for the Orchestra rights.
