QuickReportz supports two security authencation methodologies, Forms or Windows.
Forms authentication utilizes user accounts contained within QuickReportz and is the default method enabled during first-time installation. Use this method if your organization does not support active directory.
To enable forms authentication perform the following actions:
- Change web.config authentication mode to “Forms” (or click on "Installer" under the admin menu)
- Enable anonymous access in IIS
- Disable windows/basic authentication in IIS
Windows authentication utilizes active directory and integrated security to recognize and authenticate users. Windows authentication does not require users to login and authenticate with the server and can also take advantage of AD groups already defined within your organization.
To enable windows authentication perform the following actions:
- Change web.config authentication mode to “Windows” (or click on "Installer" under the admin menu)
- Disable Anonymous Access in IIS
- Enable Windows Integrated Authenticaiton in IIS
