Authentication
Web-based deployments provide Web-based login functionality and use the authentication mechanism provided by your application server. They support authentication customization by allowing you to, for example, configure your application server to use the security realm and authentication service of your choice.
Local deployments include Data Server login functionality, and support authentication by allowing you to supply any JAAS-supported authentication module as a plug-in to the Data Server and to the Dashboard Viewer.
