The authentication setting you choose depends on the identity provider (IdP) your organization uses. In NI applications that use NI Web Server, such as SystemLink, create your role mappings using this same authentication method.

Use the following table to choose between settings on the Authentication tab. You can use multiple settings at the same time.
Use Case Setting
Only one user, the admin, will access the web server. Log in as users controlled by the web server
Multiple users will access the web server with their existing credentials, identity, and access levels in your organization. Log in as users controlled by the web server

You will also need to edit a configuration file on the server machine. Refer to the SystemLink single sign-on help for information about how to edit this file.
