Technical Details

The “Select Server” form contains the “Use Windows authentication” option.

This option must be used with Web Central in SSO mode.

The SSO server must be configured to require Windows authentication.

When the user signs in, the Smart Client Web Services negotiates with an SSO server as to which built-in Windows authentication protocol (Kerberos or NTLM) to use. The Smart Client uses the network credentials of the current Windows user.
