External Authentication

External Authentication

Overview

External authentication involves subverting FarCry's normal user directory model and replacing it with one of your own. This is useful if you don't want to manage multiple user directories and would prefer to keep directory information in the one place.

FarCry will allow for multiple user directories. That is, you can have users authenticating from more than one system. For example, the entire ogranisation from Active Directory, and external contractors through the local FarCry user directory.
