Changing the Frontend Security Type

This process is conducted through The Admin console of iD. You will need to ensure that you are logged into the admin before conducting this process.  

  1. The Frontend Security Type controls the way website users login to your intranet

  2. Select Config Settings from the Utilities menu

  3. Scroll down the list of config settings and select Frontend Security Type

  4. Use the Value drop-down list to select the applicable security type:


    • Login - All users must enter login details via a web-based form before they can access the website. Users must be added as website users in the admin of Intranet DASHBOARD by an administrator. No anonymous access will be available under this security mode

    • Login on Demand - Similar to Login mode where users are created by the administrator through the website users in the iD admin although by default all users are first logged into the website anonymously. A user can login at any time (or be forced to login by an administrator) with their login details via a web-based form and then access secure areas restricted to their account

    • Active Directory - When the web server is part of a Windows domain, domain users credentials are automatically passed to Intranet DASHBOARD when they first visit the site within each browsing session. Users may be part of the same domain or domains within the same 'forest'. Security can then be assigned to areas of the website based on AD users, groups and domains. Users that are not part of the domain will be prompted to login (via a popup login prompt) and subsequently users that are unable to login will be assigned 'anonymous' access

    (Note: The Active Directory option is only available if the server is a member of a Microsoft Active Directory domain)

  5. Click the Update Settings button to save changes
