## Chapter 9: Configuring Login Authentication and Access Settings

Support for EKM authentication and workspace access is provided through login modules. These login modules are based on the JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service) standard. EKM can be configured to use any JAAS-compliant login module.

When users log in to EKM they can be authenticated to the operating system, or to an LDAP server. You must configure the login module prior to specifying any workspace or access settings. For details see Configuring Login Authentication.

After you have configured the login module, and prior to starting the EKM server, it is recommended that you edit the EKM configuration file (EKM_HOME/conf/ekm.xml) to verify or specify values for the following settings:

- Default workspace

- Default Root User

- RSM Windows domain

For details, see Configuring Login-related Access Settings.
