Can I apply different access policies for different groups of users based on their name or NT group membership?
In order to apply access policies based on user name, you must enable authentication in iPrism. Once authentication is enabled, each user is prompted to provide a user name and password. iPrism then verifies whether or not the user’s credentials are valid. iPrism can authenticate users created in its internal database or from an external server using LDAP or NTLM authentication. Creating users in iPrism is only suitable for small networks. Networks with a large number of users should utilize LDAP or NTLM authentication. With LDAP and NTLM authentication, iPrism verifies user credentials against your existing user database to determine which profile to apply. LDAP is an industry standard protocol and is well supported by major vendors and operating systems including Windows 2000 and Novell Netware. You can also use NTLM authentication to apply profiles based on Windows NT or Windows 2000 group memberships.
