Identifying User Source

A User Source is an external user database used to manage a user's identity. AVEVA Work Tasks supports the following User Source, which is an out of the box solution for user authentication:

• Windows Active Directory Server: This user source allows you to retrieve user related information from the active directory.

• ASP.NET Membership: This user source allows you to retrieve user related information from an ASP.NET membership provider. The ASP.NET membership provides a built-in option to validate and store user accounts. This user source thus helps you manage user authentication.

• Forms: Forms make it possible to retrieve user related information from another application database.

• List: These are out-of-the-box user sources provided by AVEVA Work Tasks. The Lists use the database for storing user information.

Apart from the above listed user providers, you can use a custom User Source too. User authentication enables users to participate in human activities that form a part of the AVEVA Work Tasks Workflow.
