### 9.1.3. Authenticating EKM Logins to the Windows Operating System

The operating system of the server on which EKM is installed is detected automatically during installation. If you have installed EKM on a Windows server and want to authenticate users to the Windows operating system, there is nothing you need to do to enable this behavior. The `WindowsLoginModule` has already been enabled in the JBoss domain configuration, as shown below:

    <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:security:1.2">
      <security-domains>
        <security-domain name="other" cache-type="default">
          <authentication>
            ...
            ...
            <login-module code="waffle.jaas.WindowsLoginModule" flag="requisite" />

Note: Although user names are case-insensitive when logging in to Windows, they are case-sensitive when logging in to EKM. Also, EKM will only allow one version of a user name in the same workspace. See How User Logins Work for more information.
