Chapter 10 User Authentication

•Redirection — when accessing any website (unless access to this page is explicitly
allowed to unauthenticated users — see chapter 12.2).
Login by re-direction is performed in the following way: user enters URL pages that
he/she intends to open in the browser. WinRoute detects whether the user has already
authenticated. If not, WinRoute will re-direct the user to the login page automatically.
After a successful login, the user is automatically re-directed to the requested page or
to the page including the information where the access was denied.
Note: Users will be redirected to a secured or unsecured web interface according to
the fact which version of web interface is allowed (see chapter 11.1). If both versions
are allowed, the secured web interface will be used.
•Using NTLM — if Internet Explorer or Firefox/SeaMonkey is used and the user is au-
thenticated in a Windows NT domain or Active Directory, the user can be authenticated
automatically (the login page will not be displayed). For details, see chapter 25.3.
