EFT Server’s administrator login dialog allows you to login as an administrator using preconfigured accounts created in EFT Server’s internal authentication database, Windows local administrator accounts, or Active Directory-based accounts. A drop-down list is provided from which you can choose EFT Server Authentication, Currently Logged On User, or Windows Authentication. (The use of Active Directory accounts for administrator login is available with the High Security module only.) The last-used authentication scheme selected is saved locally and recalled the next time the administrator logs in.
After EFT Server is configured, you can open the administration interface and login automatically using the EFT Server computer's local administrator credentials from a command line or a Windows shortcut, using the EFT Server administrator listening IP address and port.
EFT Server allows you to specify Active Directory accounts and local computer administrators as EFT Server administrators.
For more information about EFT Server administrators, refer to Configuring Server Administrators.
For more information about Active Directory authentication in EFT Server, refer to Windows Active Directory Authentication.
Changing and administrator password, locking out an administrator account, removing an administrator account, enforcing complex passwords, password history, and password reset on an administrator account, and expiring passwords on administrator accounts apply to EFT Server-managed accounts only.
