When you use the Management Console to connect to the Dynamic Data Masking Server, you must log in with a user name and password. Dynamic Data Masking user authentication depends on the authentication scheme that you configure.
You can configure the following authentication schemes for Dynamic Data Masking:
LDAP authentication. Authentication scheme that uses the LDAP software protocol to locate organizations, groups, individuals, and other resources in a network.
Active Directory authentication. Authentication scheme that uses the Active Directory service to enforce security for users and resources in a Windows network.
Internal authentication. Authentication scheme that uses the Dynamic Data Masking Server password to authenticate users who log in to the Management Console.
Use the Management Console to set the authentication scheme for Dynamic Data Masking. By default, the Management Console uses internal authentication. The first time you log in to the Management Console, you enter the user name and the server password that you created when you installed the Dynamic Data Masking Server.
