Authentication, Access Control, and Security

The Data Virtuality Server supports two types of authentication: the default dvconfig-based authentication and LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) authentication. If you are using LDAP authentication for your other tools, you can also use it for your Data Virtuality instance. In addition, regardless of the type of authentication enabled, user access can be further fine-tuned using data roles and permissions.

This section describes how to enable LDAP authentication for the Data Virtuality Server and manage user access.
