Overview

Aras Innovator provides the flexibility to give administrators many options when controlling the maintenance of user logins to Aras Innovator. One method is the use of the Windows Authentication Plugin. This plugin provides a way to implement specialized requirements for single-sign-on, authorization control, and auditing. These configurations can include standard Aras Innovator connections, leverage Web Server authentication, or use client portals for authentication. This document concentrates on the use of the Windows Authentication plugin for Active Directory authentication but is not the only the possible configuration. Many implementations are possible, but this document should help with one of the most common deployments using Windows Authentication.
