Setting Up Built-In Authorization

To set up built-in authorization based on the selected authentication type:

  1. Select the Use Built-in Authorization checkbox in the  security manager.

  2. Save technological account credentials using the PP.Util utility with the save_creds parameter and specify the DBOWNER keyword:

./PP.Util_start.sh /save_creds metabase_id login [password] DBOWNER

PP.Util.exe /save_creds metabase_id login [password] DBOWNER

  1. Change passwords of existing users to log in to the system. When built-in authorization is used, passwords are hashed. User passwords that had been specified before built-in authorization was enabled, are invalid.

NOTE. Simultaneous use of built-in authorization with password authentication is a default option, additional settings are not required.

  1. Select the Use Built-in Authorization checkbox in the security manager.
