I use a CAC card to log into my machine and when navigating to the web console I am able to bypass the username and password and go directly to the Home Summary page. My account was created as a "Windows individual account." My questions are:
1) What does Solarwinds use to authenticate me? Is it LDAP, secure LDAP, etc?
2) What ports are used in this process?
3) From a security stand point, I don't see any authentication going on with Solarwinds when I close the browser and reopen it and navigate to my web console. Where would I look to see how Solarwinds authenticates me each time I access the web console? Maybe I should ask how exactly does the "Windows individual Account" work regarding logins and authentications?
4) I was informed by my system admin that Solarwinds could issue a token. Does it? How long does this token last before another token is issued? I heard it's application specific.
Thank you in advance.
