Authentication

Authentication

Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user.
The
MDM Hub
authenticates users based on their supplied credentials, such as a user name and password, or raw binary data in a security payload.
The
MDM Hub
uses the following types of authentication:
Internal
Authenticates users within the
MDM Hub
, where the user logs in with a user name and password.
External Directory
Authenticates users through an external user directory, with native support for LDAP-enabled directory servers, Microsoft Active Directory, and Kerberos.
External Authentication Providers
Authenticates users through third-party authentication providers.
MDM Hub
implementations can use each type of authentication exclusively, or implementations can use a combination of authentications. The type of authentication that you use depends on how you configure security.
