Description

Authentication Mode Area

Embedded	Requires users who log in to DMM or Show and Share to authenticate against a user account
	database that is native to DMM. This database is independent of every other type of
	authentication that you might use in your network.
LDAP	Automatically deletes all user accounts except superuser. Requires future users to authenticate
	against the user account data from your Active Directory server when they log in to DMM or
	Show and Share.
Federation	Automatically deletes all user accounts except superuser. Requires future users to authenticate
	themselves to your IdP when they log in to DMM or Show and Share.
Federation Mode Elements Area
Last Successfully	This value becomes populated for the first time after you succeed at least once in importing
Configured IdP	configuration metadata into DMM from your IdP.
	This element is visible only in federation mode.
IdP Configuration File	Provides the means to import configuration metadata that you previously exported from your
	IdP and saved to a file. Click Import to browse for the file, which you can then import.
	This element is visible only in federation mode.
