Hi,
I'm just trying to make sure I understand fully the consequences of re-running the Configuration Wizard to enable pass-through authentication for IIS, and then switching Windows Account Login to Enable Automatic Login - from a fallback perspective if a user doesn't exist in any Group in SolarWinds, what happens.
I have a situation where two accounts are used in some cases because of security reasons - therefore there is an admin user account (eg admjoeb and a regular account joeb). The regular account is the one that will be presented for pass through, however the adm account has traditionally been used for SolarWinds.
It's not clear at all what SolarWinds does as a fall back if it can't match a user to a Group or Individual Account for the cached credential that SolarWinds will be given by the web browser. This will happen where admjoeb has access, but joeb doesn't (and I don't want to add both to the same group because this defeats the purpose).
I don't really want to just add 'domain users' as a group as that's a massive list of people, either. It's not clearly documented what happens if someone isn't in a group; does this cause a username/ password dialog? Does it send the browser to the login page, ie /Orion/Login.aspx?
I've actually tried to search this, but most results are for pass through not working which isn't really relevant.
Edit: the reason I am asking this is that I want to be able to have a group for presenting dashboards where the user doesn't have an admin account (eg think management and up-line reporting); but still have adm accounts be able to log in as normal.
