Enabling forms authentication

By default, Meridian Enterprise Server and Meridian Explorer use Windows authentication, not forms authentication. You can enable ASP.NET forms authentication if your organization requires it or to use the mobile-optimized version of the Meridian Explorer website.

Notes

• Each user for which forms authentication is enabled will permanently claim a client license (named license) as described in About licensing.
• These settings can be overridden for particular BlueCielo groups as described in Creating and editing user accounts.

To enable forms authentication:

1. In Meridian Enterprise Server Configurator, in the System Management group, click Settings. The Application Settings page appears.
2. On the APPLICATION SETTINGS page, in the FORMS AUTHENTICATION group, for the Allow forms authentication item, click CHANGE. The REGISTER AD SERVER NAME dialog box appears.
3. Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.

4. Click SAVE.
