Set up Windows authentication

Identify or create a PI identity, user, or group that has appropriate access permissions.

Create a mapping between the Windows user or group and the PI identity, user, or group.

The mapped Windows accounts now have the Data Archive access permissions defined on the PI identity, user, or group.

Note: Ideally, use Windows Active Directory (AD) groups for authentication. It is also possible to use local Windows groups and users, but this requires additional configuration. For information, see PI mappings, or refer to the Security Configuration Guide on the Customer Portal.
