User Settings Dialog

Use this dialog to control user access to Syniti Data Replication. You can select a security option, add and remove users, and set specific permissions or user roles for each user.

NOTE: If you set up a user ID with UserName Authentication, or Certificate Authentication, you will not be able to use Syniti Data Replication until the certificate is correctly installed. Generate and install the certificate before setting up authentication.

Authentication

Select an option from the drop-down list. For more information on security options in Syniti DR, see Server Client Security Options.

Anonymous Access	Leave this option if you do not want to restrict access to Syniti DRin any way.
UserName Authentication	Allows you to establish login IDs and passwords for users, but also requires the installation of an X.509 certificate on the client system (where the Management Center is running).
Windows Authentication	Syniti DR uses your Microsoft Windows login and ID to control access to the Management Center and server agent. It is also possible to specify a group name, such as “<domain> Administrators”. This would allow any Windows user that belongs to the group Administrators to log in to Syniti DR using their own Windows credentials. The administrator would not need to provide a list of individual user names for access to the application. Note that Windows users and groups can be either local or domain (ActiveDirectory).
Certificate Authentication	Requires the installation of an X.509 certificate but does not allow specific user login IDs.

Binding Protocol

Select an option from the drop down list. For more information on appropriate binding protocols for use with Syniti DR, see Server Client Security Options.

Authentication	Binding Protocol Options
Anonymous Access	Inactive. Uses TCP/IP binding protocol
UserName Authentication	TCP/IP or HTTP binding protocol. TCP/IP is suitable for intranet access, HTTP is recommended for internet access.
Windows Authentication	Inactive. Uses TCP/IP binding protocol
Certificate Authentication	TCP/IP or HTTP binding protocol. TCP/IP is suitable for intranet access, HTTP is recommended for internet access.
