Use an authentication service when you want to configure Process Commander to do one of the following:</p> <ul> <li>Use a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)-compliant directory server to authenticate the Process Commander users.</li> <li>Use some other vendor-specific security solution to authenticate the Process Commander users.</li> <li>Implement single sign-on.</li> </ul> <p>Complete two main steps when using this feature:</p> <ol> <li>Create an authentication service data instance that identifies activities that override the default Process Commander authentication process. If your goal is to configure Process Commander to use an LDAP-compliant directory server to authenticate users, use the Authentication accelerator. See <a href= "../../../tools/authenticationwizard/aboutauthenticationwizard.htm">About the Authentication accelerator</a>.</li> <li>Insert a servlet definition element and a servlet-mapping element in the Process Commander <code>web.xml</code> file that identifies the name of the authentication service.</li> </ol> <p>When initially installed, the <code>web.xml</code> file contains three servlet definitions you can use for authentication service implementations: <code>WebLDAP1</code> to <code>WebLDAP3</code>. By choosing an authentication service name that matches one of these, you can implement up to three without changing the <code>web.xml</code> file and without redeploying Process Commander.</p> <p>For information about configuring and using authentication services, see <i><img src="../../../shared/pdn.gif" alt="PDN" width="16" height= "16" class="inline" />Authentication in PegaRULES Process Commander</i>, a document available from the Integration area of the Pega Developer Network.</p> <h3 class="ref">Category</h3> <p>Authentication services are instances of the <cite>Data-Admin-AuthService</cite> class.
