Configuring User Access Control

The User Access Control feature restricts administrative access to RFgen consoles and dashboards if they are configured to authenticate the user via the credentials saved in the RFgen server, or Microsoft Active Directory .

To prevent unauthorized access, the dashboard / console must be connected to the same application database that was used to configure User Access Control in the RFGen server.

For example, if you had two application databases -- one called Test, the other Production -- and User Access Control was only setup in the RFgen server when it was connected to the Production database, if the console / dashboard was connected to the Test database, the user will not be prompted to enter his/her credentials. But, it the console / dashboard was changed to use the Production application database, the user would be prompted.
