Table 6-2
Novell-based authentication types
(continued)
Implementation in
pcAnywhere
Explanation
Novell-based
authentication types
Users must log on to the
LDAP server, and then they
can browse for user names.
Validates a user or group by
checking a user list stored in
an LDAP 3.0-compliant
directory service.
Novell LDAP
Using Web-based authentication types
Table 6-3
includes information about the Web-based authentication methods that
are available.
Table 6-3
Web-based authentication types
Implementation in
pcAnywhere
Explanation
Web-based authentication
methods
Users must specify a server
name and a valid user name.
Lets a host that is running on
an FTP server validate a user
by checking a user list
associated with the FTP
service. The user name and
password are sent over the
network in clear text.
FTP
Users must specify a server
name and a valid user name.
Lets a host that is running on
an HTTP Web server validate
a user by checking a user list
associated with the HTTP
service. The user name and
password are sent over the
network in clear text.
HTTP Caller Authentication
Users must specify a server
name and a valid user name.
Lets a host that is running on
an HTTPS Web server
validate a user by checking a
list associated with an
HTTPS service.
This method is more secure
than FTP and HTTP
authentication because the
user name and password are
encrypted before they are
sent over the network.
