Introduction

CXO-Cockpit user objects are used to authorize the business users within CXO-Cockpit. Users are grouped in user groups.

In the user maintenance screen you can create and manage users.

Authentication

There are four methods for authentication. Proprietary Security, Active Directory Security, LDAP and Essbase.

Proprietary Security is a CXO-Cockpit specific security model. User names and passwords are stored in the CXO Repository database.
Active Directory Security allows you to authorize users according the Active Directory.
LDAP allows you to authorize against a LDAP server
