Security Overview
Security in the Fusion Registry is split into two distinct functions, Authentication and Authorisation. Authentication is the process of ensuing user credentials match up against a valid user account, and then loading the user details into the session. Authorisation is the process of ensuring a user is allowed to perform the action they are trying to perform.
The Fusion Registry has a single in built account for the |root| user, this is set up on installation.
The Fusion Registry provides a number of methods for user Authentication, they are:
- Use the Fusion Security Web Server to Authenticate Users
- Use Active Directory to Authenticate Users
- Use Certificate Authentication
The use of an external Authentication Server
