Enable local authentication for Windows and Linux

To enable local user authentication, you modify the configuration using IXIA TEXTML Server.

1. Edit the TextmlServerCfg.xml file for your TEXTML Server instance:

   cd /opt/ixiasoft/textmlserver/instance-name

2. Set the <AuthenticateUsers> element value to True.
3. Set the <AuthenticateLocal> element value to True.
4. In the <Security> element, set the <ServerAdmin> and <ServerUser> elements to the names of the groups that contain all your users.
   For example, on Windows, you would enter:

    <ServerAdmin>
      <value NAME="Everyone"/>
   </ServerAdmin>
   <ServerUser>
      <value NAME="Everyone"/>
   </ServerUser>
5. Save and close the file.
   The next time a user attempts to connect to a TEXTML Server instance, TEXTML Server will validate the username and password entered against the authentication system of the operating system.
