Authentication Options for EMS Master Calendar

We aren't currently adding new features to Master Calendar as we look to revamp the product holistically in the future.

The following authentication options are available for EMS Master Calendar:

Authentication is controlled by three factors. They all must be configured correctly for the authentication to work:

Login Credentials – Location where external LDAP/Windows/Portal credentials need to be entered in our software for each user.
Enabled by – A parameter or checkbox that needs to be enabled for the authentication to work.
Configuration Page – Where configuration and options are set for the authentication.

Integrated Windows Authentication

Login Credentials – External Reference in MC user account settings, Admin Panel > Admin > Security > Users.
Enabled by – Within IIS on the Master Calendar site, "Authentication" options, Windows Authentication.
Configuration Page – None.

Use MC LDAP in two ways:
- Log into an MC user account with LDAP credentials: External Reference in MC user account settings, Admin Panel > Admin > Security > Users.
- Assign an LDAP group to an MC template, user logs in with LDAP credentials and does not need an MC user account: Admin Panel > Admin > Security > User Templates, LDAP tab inside template.
Enabled by – mastercalendar/ldapconfiguration.aspx page, "Authenticate users via LDAP?" check box (Need to be logged in as an administrator and have Integrated Authentication in license).
Configuration Page – mastercalendar/ldapconfiguration.aspx page, there are multiple tabs.

Login Credentials – External Reference in MC user account settings, Admin Panel > Admin > Security > Users.
Enabled by – Always enabled, Admin Panel > Admin > Site Administration > Default Settings. Select an entry from the "Portal Authentication Method" parameter field.
Configuration Page – There are multiple different setup items in the Default Settings page under the "Portal Authentication" area.
