About OS group-based security

If you use OS Group-based Authentication Mode, make sure you understand the Windows operating system, particularly its user permissions, groups and security features. OS Group-based security uses these Windows features. For more help, see the Microsoft online help or a 3rd party book about Windows security.

When you use local OS Groups as Roles, each node within the Galaxy must have the same OS Users, Groups, and user-group mappings to get the same level of access to the user at each node.

Note: Application Server uses Pre-Windows 2000 Group names for OS Group-based Authentication Mode, not the Active Directory Common Name.
