When CentraSite utilizes a user repository, certain connection parameters are required. The connection parameters are stored in an authentication configuration. If you need to work with more than one user repository (for example, a user repository for test purposes and a user repository for a production environment), you can define several authentication configurations.

At any given time, only one authentication configuration can be the default authentication configuration.

After creating or modifying the authentication settings, the new settings apply immediately to the CentraSite Registry or Repository.
