Windows Authentication
You have the option of either implementing Windows authentication for both the Windows client and the WebServer client or just the WebServer client. Windows Authentication will use the Windows account username that you are using and will try to match it with a corresponding account in HotH, which has the same username. For example, if your Windows account username is joebloggs then HotH will look for a corresponding login account with the username joebloggs.
In order to implement this you need to follow the instructions below for both the Windows
client and the WebServer client respectively.
Windows Client
- Log into HotH with a supervisor login.
- In HotH push CTRL ALT Q, which will open the System Configuration window.
- Tick the Windows Auth checkbox, which should look something like this:
- Click on OK, which will prompt you to restart HotH.
- The next time you open HotH, you will be logged in automatically providing that there is a matching HotH login to your Windows account login. The password information is irrevalent.
WebServer Client
You will need to check whether IIS has Windows Authentication installed as a security feature. This can be added as a role or feature in IIS. Follow the instructions in Section 7 to add Windows Authentication as a role service.
If you only require Windows Authentication for the WebServer client then you need to follow the next 4 steps. If you have already setup Windows Authentication for the Windows client then skip to point 5.
- Log into HotH (Windows client) with a supervisor login.
- In HotHpush CTRL ALT SHIFT Z, which will open the System Configuration window.
- Tick the Windows Auth checkbox, which should look something like this:
- Click on OK, which will close HotH.
- Do the following:
-
Open IIS and then expand Sites->Default Web Site and click on the name of your HotH WebServer client. By default it is called HotH.
-
On the right hand side there will be a number of options. Double click on Authentication.
-
Select Anonymous Authentication and click on Disable on the right hand side and then select Windows Authentication and click on Enable on the right hand side. It should look something like this:
- Recycle the HotH Application Pool, open a web browser and connect to the WebServer client. You will be logged in automatically providing that there is a matching HotH login to your Windows account login. The password information is irrelevant.
