The Connection Broker authenticates users by checking the user’s credentials against the different authentication servers you registered with the Connection Broker. Leostream can authenticate users against Microsoft Active Directory, third-party authentication systems based on OpenLDAP, and Network Information Service (NIS).

To add authentication servers, go to the > Setup > Authentication Servers page in the Broker and click the "Add Authentication Server" link at the top of the page. For full instructions on adding and configuring Authentication Servers, see "Chapter 5: Integrating with Authentication Servers" in the Connection Broker Administrator's Guide.
