Methods of authentication

Rights Management supports these methods of authentication:

Username/Password:
Users are prompted for their user name and password.

Kerberos (Acrobat on Microsoft® Windows® only):
Enables Acrobat or Adobe Reader users on a Windows platform to be transparently authenticated.

Smart card (Acrobat on Microsoft Windows only):
Enables Acrobat or Adobe Reader users on a Windows platform to be authenticated by using a smart card.

Internal users have corresponding user records in your organizational user directory, and those records are synchronized with the User Management database. Rights Management authenticates internal users against the User Management database. Rights Management also stores external user accounts in the database and uses the accounts to authenticate external users. For information about managing users, see Adding and configuring users in the LiveCycle Administration Console Help.

Extended authentication
Users are directed to an extended authentication provider URL, where additional authentication methods are deployed.

Certificate-based authentication
Users can use authentication modes enabled by certificates.
