Authentication Types

EFT Server supports the following database types for authenticating users:

• GlobalSCAPE EFT Server Authentication does not rely on outside sources for user information All information in the database is:

• Protected from the operating system

• Contained within the .aud file located in the EFT Server installation folder (by default, C:Program FilesGlobalSCAPE\EFTT)

• Encrypted, and can only be modified through EFT Administrator.

• ODBC Authentication allows all users in an external ODBC database to have access to EFT Server.

• Windows Active Directory (NTLM/AD) Authentication. Using this method, EFT Server assigns permissions to users from the NT user database on the system that is running EFT Server EFT Server queries the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) for your domain and adds all domain users to the Site tree.

• LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a protocol for accessing information directories on an LDAP Server.
