Portal Authentication
The Search Server can be configured to authenticate user access through the Tealeaf® Portal's authentication mechanisms. Configuring portal authentication is similar to how you can configure NT authentication for Search Server with the following differences:
Note: Portal authentication extracts user and group information from
the Portal database tables. You cannot make changes to users and groups
through Search Server configuration. For more information on making
changes to Portal users and groups, see "cxImpact Administration Manual"
in the IBM® Tealeaf cxImpact Administration Manual.
Note: Portal authentication can be enabled only on a server that contains
the Portal user database. All other servers that host Search Server
must point to the Portal authenticating server as their authentication
master.
By default, Search Server assumes that the following Portal user groups have administration privileges:
- admin group
- event admin
For more background information, see "Authentication" in the IBM Tealeaf cxImpact Administration Manual.

Like NT authentication, Portal authentication supports the use of privacy keys and data segmentation.
