Authentication, Access Control, and Security

The CData Virtuality Server supports two types of authentication: the default dvconfig-based authentication and LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) authentication. If you are using LDAP authentication for your other tools, you can also use it for your CData Virtuality instance. In addition, regardless of the type of authentication enabled, user access can be further fine-tuned using data roles and permissions.

This section describes how to enable LDAP authentication for the CData Virtuality Server and manage user access.
