13.1.1.5. Configuring authentication settings in MS

Users connecting to MS using MC must authenticate themselves. The following authentication methods are available:

  • Local accounts: MS stores the usernames and passwords in a local database. This is the default authentication method.

  • Local accounts and AS authentication: MS stores the usernames locally, but receives the authenticattion of users against a AS instance. All users successfully authenticating against AS and having a local account can connect to MS.
