Set up Operating System-based authentication and authorization

Operating system-based security authenticates InTouch users from a list of authorized Windows user groups. You create Windows user groups either on the local computer or an Active Directory server. You must associate Windows users to groups by adding them to specific groups. For more information on creating user groups, see your Windows operating system documentation.

You then assign InTouch access levels to the Windows groups using the AddPermission() function in a script or using the user interface. You typically specify operating system-based security immediately after you create an InTouch application.

After you configure the InTouch application to use the operating system authentication and internal InTouch authorization, the Change Password, LogOn, Configure Users and LogOff commands on the Special...Security menu are unavailable.

Set Operating System-based security

1. Open a window in WindowMaker.
