The authentication in the CentraSite Registry Repository is configured with default settings during installation. You can define additional authentication configurations, and you can change the default configuration to be one of the additional configurations.

The default authentication configuration determines the user repository that will be used to authenticate users who log on to CentraSite. Initially, the default user repository is CentraSite's own user repository, which has the domain name INTERNAL. You might want to define additional configurations that define for example an LDAP user repository.

You can view and modify the authentication settings using the command line tool CentraSiteCommand.cmd (Windows) or CentraSiteCommand.sh (UNIX) of CentraSite. The command line tool is located in <CentraSiteInstallDir>/utilities.

If you start the command line tool with no parameters, you receive a help text summarizing the required input parameters.

The parameters of the command are case-sensitive, so for example the parameter -url must be specified as shown and not as -URL.

If you omit the passwords from the command, you will be prompted to provide them.
