Use Windows Authentication

You can enable Windows Authentication for a system to authenticate users based on their Windows domain credentials.

When the Axiom Budget Planning and Performance Reporting login page is displayed, users must enter their Windows username, domain, and password. If the domain is an allowed domain and the Windows username matches a username in Axiom Budget Planning and Performance Reporting, the credentials are passed to Windows for authentication into Axiom Budget Planning and Performance Reporting.

If the Windows Authentication configuration for Axiom Budget Planning and Performance Reporting allows for only one domain, that domain is assumed for authentication and users do not need to specify it when logging in. If multiple domains are allowed, the user must specify the domain in one of the following ways:

• Include the domain with their username, such as DomainName\UserName.
• Specify the required domain using the Domain selection list on the login page. You can enable this optional setting for your installation. For more information, see Domain selection list.

Users must enter their credentials each time they log in, unless they select Remember me to store their credentials for future use. For more information, see Remember me.
