Create/Edit Authentication Database

This page allows you to create a new authentication database or edit an existing authentication database for this virtual HTTP server.

tip The authentication databases configured here are only used in conjunction with ACLs. These screens do not configure J2EE resources.

You can select a database that the server uses to authenticate users. The default setting means the server looks for users and groups in an LDAP directory. However, you can configure individual ACLs to use different databases. You can specify different databases and LDAP directories in the dbswitch.conf file.Then you can choose the database you want to use in the ACL
