AD/Internal Hybrid Authentication Profile

The active directory/internal hybrid profile type combines the internal profile for role management, but uses Active Directory for authentication. This means that for any username/password combination, Active Directory gets to decide whether that user is a valid user, and if they are considered valid, then the Ignition Gateway looks internally for their list of roles.

This type of authentication profile is very handy for projects that are required to integrate with IT's centrally managed security, but negotiating the management of roles with IT would be too cumbersome.
