Note! This Manual is for the "Forms authentication" version. This version requires you to create each account and store credentials in the HTTP Commander XML database. If you have Windows server or Active Directory accounts already and want to use them in the HTTP Commander, you need to download the "Windows authentication" version! This Manual is for the Forms authentication version only! |

In Shibboleth authentication mode HTTP Commander delegates authentication to Shibboleth Service provider. HTTP Commander does not perform authentication, it expects that all request reaching the application are already authenticated. Web file manager extracts name and groups (if available) of the current user and uses that information to make authorization decisions (for example, what folders to map).
Admin Panel allows you to assign folders to users. Note that list of users and groups is not available, you cannot edit or add users and groups. Logout button does not function.
IIS configuration should be done according to Shibboleth Service provider configuration manual. HTTP Commander does not require any special settings in IIS.
In Shibboleth authentication mode all request are processed under the same identity — identity of the application pool. Users are not impersonated. You cannot use NTFS permissions to assign different access to different users, use HTTP Commander folder permissions to assign desired level of access to users.
