Can I change the login method for accessing the Web Portal?

Yes, there are 2 login methods available;

1. Web Forms – This is the default method. It uses a standard Username and Password form to allow the user to login
   • The user will need to enter their username without the domain name, e.g. EXAMPLEUSER instead of DOMAIN\EXAMPLEUSER
   • There is a default timeout of 10 minutes when using this method. If you wish to change it please see the associated FAQ here
2. Windows Authentication – This will allow a user to be automatically logged in as the user logged into the PC. When the Web Portal is loaded, there is no need to manually log in.
   • If using this method, note that there is no timeout of the web portal, check with your IS governance team before implementing this method to ensure it is acceptable

If you wish to switch between either of these methods please contact the BDS Service Desk
