The Authentication feature allows users to log on to the PSA application using their operating system domain user name and password; as a result, users do not need a separate set of user names and passwords to log on to PSA. When Authentication mode is enabled, users automatically log on to the PSA application when a session is initiated, as long as they are correctly logged on to their network system.
