-===== User Authentication ===== 
-//TestOptimal// supports several ways to authenticate the users to control who should have access to //TestOptimal// IDE remotely. 
- 
----- 
-==== Property File ==== 
- 
-This is the simplest way to authenticate the users.  The users are defined in a property file. 
- 
-To select this option, go to "Help" / "Config" page and set "Auth Class" to "com.webmbt.AuthProp". 
- 
-Next is to enter all the user ids and their passwords in the file named userAuth.properties. This file must be placed in /www/MbtSvr/config/ folder. 
- 
-The user ids and their passwords are stored in a plain java properties file in the following format: userid=password. 
- 
-You will need to restart //TestOptimal// server to ake the changes effective. 
- 
-The passwords in userAuth.properties are encrypted automatically next time when the server is started. 
- 
- 
----- 
-==== LDAP Authentication ==== 
- 
-You may configure //TestOptimal// to authenticate the users using your existing LDAP server. 
- 
-To use LDAP as the user authentication, open "Help" / "Config" page and enter the "com.webmbt.AuthLdap" into "Auth Class" field. Optional you may change "Auth Realm" field. This instructs //TestOptimal// to invoke LDAP user authentication. 
- 
-Next you need to edit /www/MbtSvr/config/ldap.properties file and define a set of parameters about your ldap servers. 
- 
-Restart //TestOptimal// server to make the changes effective. 
- 
-The user credentials are cached and thus any user id and password changes on the ldap server may not be reflected in //TestOptimal//. You must restart //TestOptimal// server to clear the cache. 
- 
-Other user authentications may be supported through custom code by creating a java class inheriting from com.webmbt.AuthBase. 
- 
- 
----- 
-==== Build Your Own ====  
- 
-You may develop your own user authentication very easily. All you have to do is to create a java class inheriting from com.webmbt.AuthBase and implement __AuthCredential__[[edit=AuthCredential|?]](String userID_p, String password_p). That's it. 
- 
-The user id and password are cached automatically by com.webmbt.AuthBase for performance.
