Configure Control Room authentication options

The options for launching the Control Room for the first time and the authentication method depend on the installation mode and deployment type.

The authentication options for Control Room in Cloud and Cloud-enabled deployments differ from the options for On-Premises deployment (installed using the Custom mode).

After the installation (Custom mode) is complete, configure the Control Room in Custom mode to authenticate users with an Active Directory (AD), Control Room database, or single sign-on (SSO).

Note: The Active Directory authentication mode is available for On-Premises deployment and not for Cloud and Cloud-enabled deployments.

Based on your installation mode (express or custom) and deployment type (On-Premises, Cloud, and Cloud-enabled), select any of the following authentication methods for the Control Room:

After an Express mode installation, configure the Control Room in Express mode using the default settings.
