Windows Authentication

Prerequisites​

  • Windows Authentication feature added to IIS

Configuration​

In the Cortex appsettings.json file, set Authentication:Type to windows.

Cortex will then match users by their local windows account name, and will attempt to find a matching user in Cherwell.

User account ID's will be matched in the format of 'domain\login' against the Windows Login ID field on the Cherwell User Account.

If a match is found, a Cortex User account will be created with this domain/login identifier saved as both the 'Name' and 'Email Address' for the Cortex User Account.
