What is the use of Authentication in Predictive Factory?

[Former Member]

Dear Community,

I am about to setup a predictive factory server. There is a topic about setting up the authentication type. Either "Windows Active Directory" or "Predictive Factory Authentication". I would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of both authentication types. Does anybody have experience of setting up any of these authentications?

Thanks.

Hi Howard, I think it really depends on your needs and specially if you want to reuse Windows authentication and users. A documentation starting point is here on the different authentication types: https://uacp2.hana.ondemand.com/viewer/e3b264fbc92e4a10b21163d488966b0f/3.1.1/en-US/0f41644b265c4582.... Kind regards, Antoine
